Dear Square Enix - I want to Craft

[Caimie_Tsukino]

I dont mind red scrips honestly, the gating doesnt bother me since theres alot of people selling their tokens for gil. What kills me is favors, they are really really just not fun. I shouldnt have to hit nodes for 2 hours to craft 1 chest piece and youre not even doing anything special, just hitting nodes that have worthless materials in them ad nauseua.

This favor thing is far worse than when we were grinding desyn for Mastercraft for Supra... Back then, we were already unhappy about relying RNG for it. Right now, not only it's RNG, but it's actually GATHERING as well... My wrist hurts from constantly clicking the nodes for hours, really...

Some of us have given up on favors, and just plain waiting until the price of favor mat drops on MB, then massively buy. What this means is, many crafters are gonna be taking "breaks" from the game, and just maxing out red scrips per week to keep up. And what that means is, many crafters are not actually playing the crafting game - maxing red scrips has very little to do with crafting... it's just macro crafting and gathering.

The game is kind of entering a recession at the moment until something is changed...
