Here I thought this was a post about the grind to make 2-star gear but it looks like it is a complaint about earning 450 red scrips in a 7 day period. I don't know, maybe it is about the actual gathering of mats to make 2-star gear.

I don't have the same problem the OP has. I'm sitting on a lot of red scrips (gathering and crafting). I don't have the time to gather the stuff myself (even with the 5 minute favor buff) so I don't use my red gatherer scrips and therefore don't use too many red crafting scrips (unless I'm in PF requesting a gatherer to do it for me). I've geared out (what I deem) the important stuff for most of my crafters (MH/OH/accessories). Which is great and all, but outside of a few random sales of accessories or an OH tool here and there, I don't commonly sell 9 tokens' worth of gear/week. The market is so slow.

Which makes me think that if they did actually release gear people wanted to buy, there wouldn't be enough crafters on the server with tokens available to craft the stuff anyway.
