How to fix this red scrip nightmare:

[Jeykama]

I did my ixali tribe religiously everyday. And I bought some from mb for around 120k-70k each.

I think his point was, you've bought time-limited materials before. You could have never done your Ixali dailies and simply bought all those sealants nonstop and kept crafting whatever you wanted to use or sell.

How does this change now, except that the "sealants" are personally gated to 7 a week? It doesn't. Nothing is gating your ability to push your crafting buttons except gil, same as before. It's just these new things are more expensive because more personal effort has to go into each item.

And fwiw, I don't really mind red scrips. Everything in this game even remotely related to progression is gated. I'm sure even the i210 gear from airship exploration will be gated, because it's >i160. All I'd want changed is to get rid of the damn mobs staring at nodes (looking at you, stupid bear and jellyfish fate in Hinterlands) and a way to convert the "rare" favor items into something useful because spending 3 tokens is not useful. Have like 40 of each of those stupid "rare" items sitting around that I can't ever use until they unlock red scrips.
