    I guess it depends on who you ask. As a crafter I need 9 hardened saps to craft ONE Level 70 item just to destroy it afterwards for Desynthesis. And I need to produce several dozens of them to level up. So the crafter in me says HELL YEAH! If you are not into crafting, I can imagine that these drops are quite annoying although you get good GIL for most of them.

    Why can't SE ever seem to see the obvious solution that keeps the majority happy?

    They don't need to remove crafting mats completely from dungeons, they just need to make them a bonus drop(25% chance or w/e) in the chest along with gear items.

    I agree with the OP though and I knew SE was going to make gear items more common from chests. Since the introduction of Desynthesis I know the pain of going through an entire dungeon and not even having a chance at looting a gear drop.

    I woke up screaming.
    I love you. /queue awkward silence

    My 100+ Cooking Sherry can tell you that they went overboard with it, and it's not fun clearing a dungeon, sweating till your last drop cause healer just died (ok he went in as CNJ lolol), 3% remaining on the last boss, 1 DPS with me, LB been used.

    Then the incredible thing happens: you clear it! yay!!! rewards: 1 potash.

    As a crafter myself (well, as everything if I can say lol) - I feel like Crafter's are at the end of the rosewood branch, so far and since the start of 2.0 (don't know before, and that's not the point)

    Same with [...] Retainers that brings back 100s of Coeurl meat and skin.

    Now don't get me started on Desynth eww..

    /Dream on
    If only they would make fun instances where you go in as gatherer and crafters - stealth mode, evading dangers, solving puzzles, getting special crafting mats - that would be awesome.
    /Dream off

    I'm all for adjusting the drops, separate or like the opo-opo, always escaping my grasp >.<

    But please give something to the last boss, if only.

    apparently SE loves RNG too much. Saw what happened with 2.0 without RNG (pointing those lame cries saying how easy content was), so SE decide to add more on next patches. lol
