Upcoming Craft Changes

[BlaiseLallaise]

You used to need sub crafts to make certain items which was a brilliant idea, forcing you to level up other crafts, in order to achieve your goals.

Consider me of a polar opposite to this comment. IMO, an MMO should NEVER force anyone to play a certain way. The beauty of where FFXIV is headed is that it gives the player as much freedom as possible to play their way and not feel like they're being funneled into a certain play style. If I want to only level leatherworking, who has the right to tell me that I can't?

The old saying goes, if its not broken don't fix it,

I hate to break it to you, but the old saying is wrong. Innovation and advancement never occur when this attitude is present. Is FFXIV better off after these changes? I don't know for sure, but they certainly wouldn't get better by refusing to change things simply because "it works".

I could say so much more, but this isn't the proper place for it.
