What has been told but not confirmed is Not true.

There you go. Now you can answer any other question about this game and your real life.

"everyone can do everything" is a nosense-unrealistic system, it has no future, in a MMO as in the rl....

you know that the first economy rule is: demand & supply??

why should i buy something, if i can make everything by myself?

why should you buy something when you can get a better item premade off a mob? that, in itself, is the true destruction of the economy along with there not being many people playing.

look at the seer's cowl for an example. do you think this item may have made things tougher for the 30 level crafters to sell items? it's one of the better items in the game and you get it for free by fighting a mob. this is worse for the game than any one person having all crafts leveled. of course nobody has problems with them because it's free gear for the non crafters and they don't have to buy something.

oh look...another one of these threads...


No, it isn't true.

this

something was said about being able to "master only 1 craft" and everyone blew it out of proprotions and took it out of context

mastering and being allowed to have more then 1 craft are 2 totaly different concepts

None have problem with that because there are few untradeable items, immagine that 90% of the good items were untradeable... i think "someone" would disagree.

On topic, why should I craft (work), gears and items and try to sell them(make profit), when everyone can make those items? obviously none would buy them .....

If we were able to: adjust cars, cure health problems, make all things you need to live your life (foods, houses, cars etc....) do you think a society would exist?... its kinda a phylosophycal thought... but you can applicate it, even to a game.

English, sadly is not my language, so I apologize for my grammar, but i think youll get the point.

stop complaing this is a issue that should be talked about no one should be allow to level all craft. Why would i even buy something from any of the players in the game when i can make every blacksmith,goldsmith,armorer and my gf can make all the cloth,lw,wood,cooking and so on item like before i reroll? i never had to buy anything from the market ward. Even if i needed item to make something it can easy be farm within 30-1hour of work it was dumb and pointless to buy anything from the ward.

They should not allow us to level all craft in the next up coming rise in cap and this should also work with DOL also should only allow us 2 for each.

this is a unrealistic system and wont work very well in a mmo that run off a market.


@Cairdeas if you read one of the update on the forums they no longer allow us to delete our own Topic/close it.

do you think there would be an auto market if you could go off and just go to a place that gives away free cars? no, you would just go get a free car. you would never buy one if you could get something better for free. why buy a ford when you can go get a mercedes given to you at no cost?

do you think there would be a health care system if you got free treatment given to everyone? you would never go pay a doctor or pay for meds if you were given them for free without any drawbacks.

do you think the housing market would exist if you could pick out the your dream home and then go get another that is even better for free? no you would take the upgrade you got for free.

you use these examples of doing everything yourself, but why not go and pull up your server and tell me how many have every craft to cap in it. there's not going to be many. the truth is no matter how many can make anything you are not going to sell anything if they can get a better item for free. that is in real or a game economy.

how can you figure a weapon and gear that is as good if not better than anything made for mid and high range for all battle classes is only a few items?

Players could level all crafts to the original cap in FFXI too, and then later were allowed to select one craft to master to the raised cap. This was fine in that game because crafts were just a side task, not an actual class. Crafts are supposed to be playable classes in FFXIV. Some players, myself included, actually enjoy leveling crafting jobs as a class. If I were suddenly unable to continue leveling my classes, I would lose interest in playing. I do enjoy my DoW as well, but I spend a large chunk of my time crafting because I enjoy it.

If someone suddenly told you that you could not level any other DoW/DoM classes beyond 50, you had to pick just 1, I think you might lose interest in playing as well. (The "you" in this case refers to everyone in general, not any particular person in this thread).

I would like to be able to continue to level any class from any category to the level cap. However I would also be in favor of specializations for each craft and access to those specialties could have restrictions (similar to what was done in WoW as one example). Only crafters with that specialty could craft recipes in that category. Each crafting branch would would have similar choices, and each player could specialize in only 1 specialty per craft.
