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

[Solarra]

Please SE, remove the "4 people in the workshop" requirement for projects -- make it a belated Xmas present for us FC crafters with the coming patch

So disappointing to see there has been no further information after all this time.

Can we also get the ability to submit all the items in one go?

Bump.

Thanks for keeping this thread going, Kvietok. After getting such a positive official response, it's strange we've heard nothing since.

With Stormblood on the way and submarines being added, we are going to have even more things to craft in the workshop. Since there isn't very much content for FCs apart from the crafting (no new ranks or perks to work for), new workshop recipes should be very welcome.
However, my excitement is definitely tempered by the realisation that needing four people to advance every stage is going to mean lots of potential play-time wasted (at the start of an expansion, too!), just hanging around the FC house until another three crafters are available.

That should probably tell you something. And no, its not the answer we all wanted to hear, unfortunately.

They mentioned change to how FC crafting is going to be done in 4.x during the question/answer thing that was posted not that long ago. However no details were given so it could actually be making things worse >.<?

That last part's being a bit pessimistic. I've never seen them actually go out of their way to make things worse on purpose.

One could argue that the entire Favor System was intended to make collecting crafting materials and making gear "worse" ...

I could go into a whole thing about how Favors are fine in theory but were executed poorly due to the devs being WAY too cautious about combat balancing to make crafted gear back then even remotely fair.

On the current subject, however, I still believe that for some things, like Aetherial Wheels, workshop crafts should be soloable for sure.

Workshop craft should be soloable for everything (at least in its current itteration where everyone else but ONE person just stands there and do nothing).
