i think you must have hit your head too hard. how is hq items that are 100% sure synths and easier to make and get the hq parts made for going to stop making gil? if anything it will increase the amount of gil the crafters are making because people will be buying the same gear over and over due to them breaking it trying to hq the same item. it's pure ignorance than to think the overall amount of gil a crafter will make will not increase.

even after the changes if the price on a item drops from 50k to 40k and you sell 20 of them instead of 4-5 of them you make massively more gil. that's not counting people paying them to attach materia to that item after it's sold. if your friends are really that far out of touch with reality then there's just no help for them.
