Crafting is useless?

[Sartori]

I heard crafting is useless? Are there any plans to make it more useful? Perhaps similar to what World of Warcraft or FFXI have done?

Around 500k to 1 million gil a day....yeah its useless

New recipes coming in for Rouge...yeah its useless

It's like people forget that every coil patch all the gillionaires start pentamelding new crafted gear as an early upgrade to their same-but-inferior ilvl gear.
Even then it's just out of reach for most players. If you want crafted gear to be more prevalent then first crafters have to be willing to take a huge hit to the gear value and prices, and let's not even start on materia prices and the PITA that is spiritbonding (especially without holy).

I've leveled most my crafts to repair my gear at one point I'd thought it would be useful thing for putting materia in end game gear but that sorely a disappointment with current materia system. Materia/Craft gear will be only be playing catch up mode indefinitely after each patch all because of SE over fear of RMT's sadly. The most I use gil for is teleports know beyond that gil isn't even worth the effort to achieve millions know it for people just for show at this point in the game it has very little meaning to it besides getting a large house and decorate it maybe woooh /softclap.

Over melded i90 crafted gear can still be bis, and if they do the upgrade system it is better to get the hq crafted sets and and max meld them, endgame raiders who are the first to beat the new turns ussualy go in, in hq crafted and over melded gear. Crafting is far from useless, you just need to learn that ilvl does not always win

Crafted gear with melds is great for progression but no pieces are BiS at this point in 2.3s life.

The accesories would like to have a conversation with you, and we are talking about new patch release. Not 6 months later.

Crafting is incredibly useful for making your own food and pots. The MB greatly overprices everything. You're getting ripped off as long as you buy from it.

Right. For progression in 2.4 the crafts gear with melds will be used for a few months. Looking forward to Koenig!

At this point in 2.2-2.3s life nothing is BiS. Some people use the accessories but they are not BiS. (I could see some savage groups using them but that's progression)

If it's fun it's not useless. I find it fun.
