The Future of Crafting

[User201109011315]

Seriously, horse why are you always trolling all over the forums? Dont you have anything better to do than mock someones opinon that very well may influence the community in a postive way. I personally think AJs idea is fantastic. There is a issue with inventory space, and im sure no one can really dispute that. Ohh, and put stuff on my retainer sure why not! No thanks i rather have free inventory space on me personally, and also my retainer should have items that i intend to sell from me crafting. Not holding mats i may not use for x amount of time. I think you need to think about this logically before you judge the OP's post. I think this would be great for the game's future. Please yoshi, take this idea into consideration, or please can we get a response in regards to a method simliar to this to influence the game in a great way. Also, on a sidenote the less inventory space needed, would help the server/client issue. Not as many items to send/recieve would help i would think. That is just my 2cents. I hope to hear something about this. /flame shield on. Troll me all you want, if your that bored.

Are you talking to me?

Well, whoever you were addressing, I think you have to follow the decision to its logical conclusion before saying it's oh-so-amazing. Realise that if localleves were an infinite source of SP, then a consequence of this would be that nobody would buy grinding mats anymore, forcing gatherers into an even more obsolete position than they are already in. DoW would also have less generated-income from no longer being able to sell mats. From an economical standpoint, this would only serve to generate no market for any goods.

Is this really what you want? An MMO with no economy? An MMO that just gives you everything in the most convenient way possible?

Also, it would still not make crafting any more enjoyable than it is. It would just make it less expensive.

And surely the easiest solution to inventory issues is... wait for it... increasing inventory space.

Mutilating this game beyond any recognition is a pretty extravagant "solution" to a simple problem, if it is even a problem at all.

Like i said your trolling. I dont need to further make my point. However i will make it short and sweet. Having less inventory affects the game over all. Also, how does making infinite leves breaking the economy exactly? So if i go gather the mats, and make the craft that affects the economy how? DOL will not suffer, hmmm "Materia system" Ring a bell genius? There wouldnt be a problem for DOL to gather the mats still to make the crafts, and get the catylst stones for the crafters to instill that materia. I guess you forgot about where the game is headed. Umm, and again how exactly is someone that chooses to do leves over and over, any different than getting the said mats, and grinding on them until they are broke, and out of the mats they needed to conintue in there said profession. Ohh, wait DOW+DOM dont share this problem do they? They can get sp soon to be "Levels". Anytime, outside of the regional leves they do. Guess what it doesnt cost them any gil to progress does it? The price is the decay of your armor, and if you have a strong LS like i do, personally you can fix any piece of gear your wearing. Also, if his idea was to be implemented it would alliviate people from having to carry said about of mats on them at one time. It wouldnt eliminate any classes value as your suggesting it would. I think it would offer a more logical approah to the crafting system that is currently in place, and rather broken. I guess you can troll me on that too, however your not going to win the debate due to the fact i gave enough "logical" reasons for said situations. Ohh, and if i forgot any of them, please feel free to troll and correct me. With that said, happy gaming.

P.S. You got owned!

Wall of text aside, DoW and DoM are not lucrative professions as are crafting professions. A crafter can make more money than a DoW/DoM and thus should have a higher barrier to progression (cost-wise) than other classes.

Just because people want a free R50 doesnt mean they should have one. Play the game. Stimulate the economy by buying mats. That is how FFXIV should be played.
