Why is crafting so useless?

[fortuona]

It's a fun system and has so much potential, and yet they've decided to make it entirely worthless aside from glamour.

I enjoy crafting quite a bit; it's obvious a lot of work went into it. Can we lighten up on the obvious decision to make all current crafted gear irrelevant alongside tomestone/raid gear drops?

By patch 3.1 and beyond you'll get plenty of things to craft like the new relics, more glamour specific gear, furniture, gear for everyone.

Just be patient; crafting has always been a grind

Sorry, but people asking for 100K gil for one single draconian HQ pot or food from me is enough.
I don't really like the idea of having to dish out 50M gil for gear to be able to raid (that's something crafters would actually like).

I don't mind crafts being more useful, I actually enjoy crafting a lot, but it has to stay the hell away from raiding.

Relic was a nice show of greedness. All items could be crafted together under 1M gil but crafters were asking for 1M gil each. People who didn't have crafters or crafter friends were f*cked.

I'd really rather not have PVE content to be gated by gil.

This crafts need to be for goods and fun things not about raiding or gear you really need

I would not be too surprised if the new relics need crafters

[Xeonerable]

They want you to grind based on the illusion the end result will be worth it. But there is no end result... its just supposed to waste your time with RNG and spending gil.

What the heck?
On Cerberus, STR HQ pots are 30-40k, DEX HQ pots are 12-15k, INT HQ pots are 7-9k.

Does Ragnarok only have 2 crafters and 1 gatherer or something like that, or are you just making up numbers?

Even tho these same potions drop from maps and are thus dirt cheap rather then 100k gil?

But lets not have a biased opinion that makes no sense. Crafters would like to be able to craft something actually useful, that is all.

Not much of a raider then huh. Any real raider would love to have an additional source of equipment.

Not surprising. Crafters can also be fairly cut throat when people enter their "turf" in the MB via with undercutting, market manipulation, etc. Which probably discourage the newer/ less seasoned crafters
