Personally.. I wouldn't liquidate +3s cause those are almost guaranteed to end up still being HQ, if you want to speculate, do it on the +2s.

It's hard to argue either camp effectively since all we have is speculation so now it's more of an argument between optimists and pessimists.

It's hard for me to be optimistic about these changes though, because they are talking about changing many things with the hopes of having a positive effect on the economy... when the economy's problems in FFXIV are way beyond just the issues in crafting.

And all of these changes together mean that the economy is going to be in a big fugue state for awhile with no one really knowing what goes where as crafting changes and materia together will both be implemented.

I don't remember if I said it here or on the other thread... but I think releasing materia and crafting changes together is going to be a mess, and SE is going to have the devil of a time tracking data while things try to stabilize. They should release materia in 1.19 and crafting changes after they see what materia does to the system.
