Easy to disproove:

there was people with 11/11 lucis on day 3
there was people with full artisan gear on day 1
there was people with 11/11 supra on day 4

So far its been 8 days and i only see ONE piece of equipment for under 50M on the MB (its the crafting ring, which is +2CP compared to the lvl 57 ones WOOOO) - for a total we have 3 rings 1 neck 1bsm body on the MB - the body is 77.7m the neck 50m one ring 10m the other 2 50m, go figure

And im not saying its not kind of a gate like in 2.x - but the gate itself is not the problem. The huge amount of time to get through it, the limited demand of items behind it - who is buying crafting equip just to make crafting equip? - and the time needed running around braindead, stupid and wasting playtime that could be used better elsewhere. For one single piece of equipment it would take me more playtime then i needed to get 2-3 of my old lucis tools. And for what? The bang for my buck is so horrible - so why even bother?
To craft more 2 star that i do not need because there is not even 2-star food and i will be able to buy the old i180 tools/equip cheap as soon as 3-star recipes are out?

Im fine with new stages in the crafting circle and never had to have supra/artisan/lucis at day one - but im not fine with investing around 100 hours of playtime (and 6-8 weeks) for equipment that will become obsolete once we get the next type of scrip currency and new recipes.
