Dear Square Enix - I want to Craft

[Katlyna]

I want to make gear to sell again, end-game gear that not everyone can make and not 15 listings that are 2 gil difference in price. I miss the raiders sending me tells asking to make gear for them. I actually broke down and bought 6x Crafter's token today, no one is buying the rare Favor mats so I figured I'd put some gil back into the Ultros Economy. I have about 6x more Tokens to buy... make some more Astral Silk.

This 1000x over. Jade and I am on the same server with the exact same problems. I think the only people buying tokens on our server are Pork Ribs and myself. And because of the rarity, cost, and inability to sell worthy items at prices people can afford, both Pork Ribs and myself can be seen out in the field attempting to gather our own tokens. We just can't afford to dump 6-10 million into every 2 star item we attempt to craft. There is absolutely no way its sustainable. The selling prices of the items become too high, and the risk of NQ and burning yourself is entirely to risky.

The system is completely screwed up. And the economy went stale the second it released. Its absolutely terrible what has happened. I wish I could talk to the SE developers on the phone four just an hour or two so I could explain in precise details what is occurring and what has to change to fix this problem. Two of our FCs omnicrafters have already stopped playing leaving myself and one new omni crafter who recently joined. Most of my crafting linkshell is just stopping at blue scrips. They can't afford to move into red scripts in any way shape or form. Just doing the weekly red scrips is unsustainable for most of them.

At this point I'm just going to be listing one or two Red Scrip items, doing a few of the chest pieces for glamour and then stopping until the system is fixed.
