How many of us can be bothered with the endgame crafting

[AnimaS]

As I've said earlier, this was intentional. The system isn't broken by error, it was destroyed. SE simply did not put crafter recipes for post 60 in their first expansion. It's an awful thing to do to all us who spend countless hours (re)gearing our 8 crafters , melding, and everything else that led us to this point..

The expansion was touted as a massive change, truth be told.... it is a gimmick for SE to cash in on those who invested time and needed to continue...


Hours of eye candy and leveling to 60, the story line and now, Alexander... Crafting was not addressed so they decided to halt the system till they are good and ready to develop content for crafters. I see it as pure subscription profit (the entire expansion) given the fact that upon reaching Master of the Hand there are virtually ** NO ** recipes that are usable or profitable. Did you want to craft for the pure enjoyment of the crafting system too? SE's answer is TOO BAD. Crafting was not on our deadline priority list, now use this absolutely ridiculous, time devouring red scrip system to gear up for 6 (give or take) months because we are not ready to develop recipes yet. Want to craft now? get 500 Million Gil and craft a few items.


The patch is simply a plot to divert the attention of gullible people, who mean well but did not experience the functional system that was at it's peak in 2.4.. The conclusion of the red scrip exchange is already known so I don't have to explain in detail how outright ridiculous it is and obvious it was created to stall out crafters till they are ready to add recipes.


I'm reminded of an old and famous newspaper headline from the 70's during a financial crisis.... [Gerold] Ford to N.Y: DROP DEAD
