Crafting is fun!

[Millen1]

For what it is worth, the red scrip system is bad in my opinion. Why? I have very little interest in gathering. Now I spend most of my time gathering to spend a short amount of time crafting. The end products being very limited, sell for a very high price that pushes most ppl out of the market. This bothers me as I enjoy having a market to sell to and ppl can't afford a $10m gil main hand and really have no current reason to buy top level hq 2 star crafts. This is also the reason I don't buy mats from the MB, I see no way to recover my investment. Top level gear leads no where and as Yoshi has said with battle gear, it isn't going to be that good. Where do I go? I make my gear because I can, beyond that I have no interest in grinding more mats out to make gear for sale.

The end of the 2.xx system was nice, beast tribe quests for some mats, coil and desynth for other mats, little gathering to round it out. A well rounded system that brought all content together to craft in. Don't like one of the steps in there? Buy it from the MB. Currently gathering is the only way to craft. Other than that I use to send SE a few thoughts on how to improve the system and what made it fun in 2.0, more recently I just send them daily mail reminding them that the 3.0 system sucks. That is just me.
