I find this silly too. SE seems to focus more on keeping players do their tedious token system, instead of you know, adding actual fun content?
I don't craft, but I was thinking maybe I'd pick it up, but well after this, no no no never gonna craft.

I think that's the point.
Looks like they don't know how to keep players busy, but they prefer to make us grind everything rather than give us fun content.

and you want to know the most scary, it's about the same for the combat part of the game.... gated content for keep people busy... we don't log for have fun, but do our caps.
i know that some culturel difference exist, but the game is worldwide now, they can't hope people to follow the japanese culture on this. when we play a game we do it for fun, not for do a tedious work.

i will never say it enough, they need to work on replayable content instead of gated content.
i don't say that the token system or the gated system is bad, but like script an overuse of it, is quite bad!

now the question is do they really care of what we think on this side of the world? because if the japanese community is ok with this.... i doubt we will see any change.

ps: personally i level up my craft to 60 for the FC airship, but they are naive if they hope me to fall into this.... the amount of time and work needed for get anything for craft, that only work for crafter after all.... is far too important. time/effort/reward ratio is totally wrong on this.

Oh don't worry, the Japanese forums are even more upset than us. Reddit is annoyed too. Square have definitely seen it at this point. It also appears most hardcore crafters on some servers are either quitting crafting, unsubscribing, or not bothering with the new stuff. And these are hardcore crafters, let alone casuals.

The only way I can even imagine this working is if they plan to nerf it little by little every patch.

But the bigger question is why?

[odintius]

Just going to craft them to 60 so can repair my gear, this system is way to overboard for my taste there acting like were crafting end game gear here or something.

[odintius]

Starting to dislike being on game clock for gather's portion of game, why couldn't they gave an ability you pop and sense a nodes in a zone last 30min to gather and have a cool down period of hour or more make it were it fits are time schedule not the freaking game clocks just opinion of mine :P

I'm still wanting to know why SE doesn't understand that having weekly caps is a shit way to keep players subscribed. That's really what any of this is all about. Maintaining subscription numbers between patches.

Except there are at least just as many people willing to get fed up and drop sub as there are those willing to trudge on. Ultimately if your game is uninteresting enough to warrant forcing players into caps to keep them p(l)aying.. then perhaps you need to step back and reconsider your design philosophy. You know GIT GUUD Yoshi.

Don't get me wrong, you turned what was a turd into something not so turdish and I'll give you props for that.. But wtf have you been thinking since then? Because more than half of your decisions show a complete disregard for player feedback.. which is exactly what landed 1.0 in the turd position!

I mean do you only react to such extremes that spell ruin for this game? Does the game have to reach abysmal numbers again before you start listening? Why not rectify problems before they get that far gone?

The worst part about all this is having to make so many items and throw them into void by hundreds instead of making something people would actually use.

Well that, and spending hours camping nodes on the clock just isn't fun. It's busy work. 45 tradeins a week? Hell outta here.

[scarebearz]

Hope they fix it soon, or I can't see me playing that much longer.

Tomes weekly gated, can deal with that.

Raids weekly gated, can deal with that.

But the one thing I liked to do between doing the above was end-game crafting and now thats weekly gated...
