SE is thinking on their target audience, NEETs living on cyber coffees. Because obviously this was designed for people with +8 hours free to dedicate exclusively to this.

My server consists of some of the most hardcore crafters in the world and even most of them hate this change. Yeah, you can spend 200 million to craft a 2 star. But then you've got no market. Literally no market at all.

That might have been part of the reason why they find it okay to take so long to get as is. The option is there if you REALLY want it, but you won't have much use out of it yet. It's likely that when 3.1 hits, we'll start to see some necessity out of the red scrip related gear.

Which will last till 3.2 when new artisan arrives and the grind will be even worse, expecting new tiers of demimaterias IV-V, even maybe mastercraft demimateria II for the lulz and literally, all the effort now and in the coming months will be for nothing, once more. You can only push it so far before your players lose interest in one part of your game...

We don't have a whole lot to go on when it comes to when the next tier of gear will be available though. If we're going with how it was with ARR, the major gear shift didn't happen until (I think) 2.4, which was over a year later. Prior to that, it was only Forager's/Artisan's head equip and MH... both of which weren't exactly difficult to acquire, especially if you had the 2.0 equips melded. Even with Supra, it was far from necessary. Lucis was just outright luxury items with no actual necessity or application.

I mean, it's quite possible we'll see a gear shift to be something along the lines of every other patch, but until it actually happens, there's no real reason to expect the worst.
