o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

this is completely false. you can easily complete a rank 18 synth at rank 13 by just going to the guild and getting higher support.

This is wrong dark, its been dev confirmed that support currently DOES NOT work this way, the only thing it does is help you not easy fail synths that "require" support in their recipe

i can confirm with differences in game results. the fact that some items do not require support, but you will get better results by using facilities. it DOES work this way. try an item that it lets you try, but you struggle to complete without support even if it does not state "this synthesis would benefit from more advanced facilities" and your results will increase if you start using them.

i'm sure you're right though and it doesn't work, but please humor me and give it a shot and post results. i know i personally tried it on synths that i had difficulty on and always grind on items 5 levels above me. the first 2 ranks of each i grab support and go up from 60% completion to 80% or so by just grabbing support. after that i stop using support once i complete them on a high enough percentage.

50 people = 50-100 increase in manufactured and sold goods (economic growth)

i understand you part of the argument and you are correct to an extent. yes, it will increase sales in certain gear. my point is that it will not jump start an economy. it will allow it to continue moving, but will not dramatically increase it. if i make 2-3 finished gear and they sell in a week is not really any different than me making 500 finished gear and selling the same 2-3 in a week. the difference is then i have to go and npc the other 497 of them.

Will you personally sell 500 Dodo Harnesses in the MW? No, you will be lucky to sell 2-3 but that is still a net increase of $20-30,000 in your pocket and more importantly, it stays in the economy.

this is where i was talking about not jump starting. you make 500 harnesses and, yes, you will sell 2-3 but will lose gil off the other 497. at least by making parts you lost gil, but it was minor due to the fact off parts you could put a stack(99) of each up which comes out to 990 items on each of your retainers or 2970 items on your 3 retainers total or the 30 of the finished gear you have.

you would make that same 30k gil whether it was through the parts sales now or through gear sales later so the sales are still in the market. that was all i was saying. no matter if you are selling materials, parts, or finished items if you sell 30k it stays in the market.
