And no, this has nothing to do with our QQing, it was miscommunication. I'm almost positive there was no intention to snuff out all optimal ranked gear.
i was joking btw :0 but thanks for the clear up.

i guess i never find the item i need for my level due to craft never making it. Ya i know i know people you going to tell me Level up a craft that what i'm doing lol.

@Arcell don't Quote on what i said what bay said was a miscommunication and what i said i stand they should be no optimal ranked for gear. Everyone game have this and it work just fine don't try and be something else when you everything else you do is the same. Let's start but in WoW/FFXI that would work because you can find the gear in "Dungeon" Drop by "Mobs" many "Quest" but in FFXIV everything would be made by the craft class. Which then lead to the issue of craft not making item because no one buying them due to people wearing 10+rank gear above them.

Which then make other issue it force me to A: Look for someone to craft "Buy the item" then pay the person top of buying all the item to make it for me.

B: Level up the craft myself and take me days and hour just to use that set of gear.

or

C: Just wear +10 Above gear due to no one selling it.

But w/e i can care less i'll just level up the craft and make the gear myself and my gf would do the other set of craft and we don't have to buy anything i guess lol. Seem like more work on a player i feel sorry for casual but then again they don't care what they wear so that not much of a issue.
