Well after taking advice from other posts I made, such as people advising me to level them all and get the books. I did do this. For everything except Blacksmith who is still on level 54. I was making enough money to do scripts even though the content was boring and limited. Now its even worse. I can't play at all. I don't even have the gil to teleport and do Cacpot. Retainers are full and selling nothing of what used to be millions of gil worth of vanity, now worth far less then they cost to make. (Allagan Leather).

People spent a long time getting these books to be able to craft the level 50 stars, and it's just suddenly been removed. It's taken our job away from us to provide the community with vanity. And also made the impossible task of earning gil even harder, now we have 50 levels on 8 crafts which have nothing worth selling because retainers are supplying them!
