Same Red Scripts for CULINARIAN!!

Some will view it as a penalty to single craft, some view it as a reward for capping multi-crafts. (Glass half-empty/half-full perception).
Again...Its your problem/choice.

You're definitely not wrong, the issue is SE is trying to force us into a couple main crafts instead of omni-crafting and then they seem to play favorites to different crafting jobs. Just look at ALC, it's true that ALC was barely useful at the launch of 2.0, however moving on from 2.3 they're required in almost every craft you do.
