The Real Problem

Oh so I should start selling materials now instead of actual crafted items... Absolute joke.

Right because selling mats is beneath your skills? I thought you wanted to make gil on regular basis selling mats is how you do that easily with minimal effort. Not to mention augments are a mat you hand in.

And people unlocked them when they were relevant not when they we are in general 10 levels higher and pushing ilvl180+
You unlocked them recently from what I gather so I can't even say you put any time or effort into unlocking them either in comparison to myself and other crafters I know. Expecting gear that has served it's purpose to still cost lots of gil is ridiculous.

Either step up, accept that you are behind the curve and won't make 'mad gil' off end game recipes or quit. Any choice is valid and perfectly acceptable.

All people can say is quit on this game. No wonder the game is in a mess, I'm here talking about my experiences in the game and all people can say is Quit. The end of the day, I've spent the majority of my gametime crafting, Nice to see your game is all fine and fucking dandy but mine is not. It's been ruined by people not researching the game. If they looked on the MB and seen that level 50 stuff was still a viable way to make gil but we could give newer crafters the ability to make them easier, by giving them the books easier is perfectly fine. Giving all the crafts to retainer ventures is not okay. It completely voids the game and makes it worthless for any crafter to spend Fieldcraft Demi 3 on a book to craft something when all they need is a venture. It's absolutely stupid!
