Crafting is useless?

[Hik0]

in FFXI every player was considered gimp for not having food. here food is useless in comparison and most wont care if you dont have food.

I think that is cause SE makes the dungeons/ST/CT too easy
But when I have done ex trials most people do use food buffs. Now its not neccessary though cause of echo.

food are far less effective than in ffxi

 Vitality 4% Max 19
Critical Hit Rate 2% Max 11
Determination 4% Max 17

VS

Food Effects: (30 minutes, All Races)

    HP +25
    Strength +7
    Agility +1
    Intelligence -2
    Attack +24.7% (Cap: 150@652 Base Attack)
    Ranged Attack +24.7% (Cap: 150@652 Base Ranged Attack)
    Demon Killer +4

Think of food as an extra (custom) accessory, just with VIT instead of your main stat. It's a small increase yes, but it's far from "useless".

except the main stat have more weight that the secondary, a food weight is less than 1% on your total gear weight, it's really not that far from useless
