Seems long overdo to me. As someone who isn't a big fan of crafting, but appreciates crafters.. I feel kinda bad asking them to crack dozens of materias for a pentameld, or really having to stop anything to help with them.

I don't think anyone bothers tipping for it anymore since it's such a widely done thing amongst friends. It also requires no skill to do it, outside of getting the level.

Just seems like something I should be able to bother an NPC with rather than my friends.
