Difference of Open world gathering and scrip:

Everyone could gather shit and nearly everyone levels up a crafter at the beginning so prices spike until supply settles, which is pretty quick 2-3 weeks to reasonable prices if gatherable.

Red scrip on the other hand are only for crafters who dedicate to it and are used to buy gear AND materials i.e.: if you want gear to make the rest of it yourself you will use red scrip to buy it with token. If you don't youll have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to buy it. Vice versa: You can buy materials in the beginning and sell it for ridiculous amounts but then you dont have the token to make the gear yourself so you have to spend a huge amount of money to get it.

Which means: Supply will settle at a much lower rate depending how many people decide to sell mats. You can only get 9 token per week and with those 9 token you can only get 45 materials (5 needed for one material to make) per week. Remember: a non lvl 60 crafter will not be able to get those, which will lead to ridiculous prices for a long time. Ehcatl sealant was available to everyone who leveld Ixali to the max and the prices still skyrocketed. Not to mention: We need shitty Master and field III demi materia AGAIN to craft the gear. Which makes it even more ridiculous.


Oh and: You will have to bother with annoying atherial reduction if you want to be able to craft stuff. So better have all gatherers at max too or pay 1m+ for a mat
