Crafting is dead

[Jethero]

Everyone brings up very good points against this system, and it is indeed the endless waiting, RNG inside RNG, and an unrewarding journey that is mauling us.

I believe, for my part and some other mastercrafters I know (three of whom have quit due to this debacle), the sheer satisfaction of searing our name into the Master Craft monstrosities is our endgame. Sure, we can turn a hefty a profit after, but I'm convinced that a lot of this is for making all of our own gear out of pride and love for crafting. Gil is just another boon.

At this moment, the vast majority of us don't even have access to enough materials to even attempt the full synthesis for the 2* items. There aren't even enough ooids on my MB to make the processed mats. I started on Folklore and favour myself, and it's as infuriating as I've been told it is.

Edit: Incorrect comparison of crafted gear sets removed. I was looking at the NQ crafted versions of DoH gear, and then mistook them for the gear you get from Red Scrip turn ins. Apologies.
