You thought it was bad? Oh it gets so much worse...

So I just found out you get on average 3 favor mats per favor buff. You get 9 of these a week for a total of 27 a week on average. You need 60-80 of these to craft ONE item depending on what it is. So now lookie here!

You have to spend 30 hours of gathering over 3 weeks and a weeks worth of red scrips (and 1-2 mil to craft the scrip items) along with all the other mats to craft ONE 2 star every 2-3 weeks.

Let that sink in for a while. One chance to craft a 2 star every 2-3 weeks. That's slower than the 66 weeks required for the full scrip set.

Anyone who blindly defends Square at this point is just nuts. This system needs scrapping ASAP.

Edit: Nevermind, as Alexiell pointed out you get 140 ish a week on average (which is still way too few)
