[dev1016] Systhesis Recipe Revisions

[Mikita]

I just replied in the other thread, but this one has the Dev tag on it, so I'd like to re-iterate a few things here.


Dear Final Fantasy XIV dev team,

Not everyone hates the current crafting system.
Complaints are voiced loudly online while people who are satisfied tend to remain quiet.

Yoshi P admitted that you may have gone overboard on the MP changes to DoM classes.
... I pray that you don't make such a drastic over-reactive mistake with the crafting system next.

MP costs are easily adjusted if you feel that they are now too high.
Crafting is an entire system that was supposed to provide full fledged jobs. If you break that system, you won't be able to repair it so easily in 1.19a.

Please consider your actions very carefully before committing to them.

..Crafting is an entire system that was supposed to provide full fledged jobs...

This latest release of information totally nails down my theory that SE is attempting to eventually move DoH and DoL away from being 'full fledged' jobs.

I predict this decision is due to the developers being unable to fully integrate the usefulness of crafting and gathering players into the main overwhelming threat to Eorzia storyline that they're currently writing. (end game/expansions/etc.)
