Workshops - getting 4 people in there to progress a tier is getting tedious

[Kalinas]

It's tough because while i see the reason for wanting something for FC's to do together...the way it's set up is really still more of a solo activity while 3 others usually afk in the workshop. If you have a smaller FC like mine (7 people that are never on at the same time) then this becomes a chore if you want to make 1 step aetherial wheels. Begging LS's and friends to come help gets pretty old fast. I hate to burden other people if I can avoid it. If I have to make a multi-step piece...then I usually have to pre-make all the mats for the stages and ask my friends to afk while I turn it all in, this is not ideal as a number of times you get a progress boost that messes with the counts. I've seen people resorting to Party Finder and offering Gil rewards for helping. Kinda not fun. Now if the workshop was 4 crafters and a 30,000 quality project that you shared extra CP for as a group and the items could only be made using the workstation...sure, now that is group crafting and could be fun. As it is...I feel the light party restriction should be tossed.
