There is no problem with being opinionated but you don't need to be a overly sardonic to do so.

To all those who said this is the "stupidest idea on the forums" you have ever seen:

Please list all the stupid ideas you've seen on the forums so that everyone can determine the truth of your ridiculous accusation. Otherwise stop trolling my thread.

These forums don't need your ridiculous player bashing in order to have a point proven. Quit with the unneeded "you're so stupid for thinking this or that" type caveman smash 'em mentality. When critiquing someone try to at least sound educated and respectable instead of ruining your persona with the jibberish you graffiti on other peoples threads.

To Gifthorse (That's what everyone on the forums is calling you at least):

The purpose of the thread was to encourage brainstorming about abolishing the useless and massive waste of mats for the purpose of Craft leveling.

Whatever ideas are brought up are all as welcomed as any others. I fully realize we as players have only so much pull in the judicial process of SE's FFXIV development. Most of these brainstorming threads are only yet another method of passing time.

The raw truth is that FFXIV Crafting DOES need to be revised and it's current basic mechanics built upon not to a point of over complication but rather more efficiency and productivity.

Crafting, just like EVERY aspect of FFXIV has a future.

Have fun in Eorzea peeps and take care
