Thread: The Current Status of FFXIV Patch 3.1 and How to Address it Moving Forward

Its also really stupid how crafters have been left out with no gears for them to craft for endgame since the best gears are obtained with tokens. This fear for RMT needs to be eliminated because its going out over players aswell. I wouldnt mind saving up 10m for a piece of armor if I knew it was worth it but that goes back to the messed up envoirment this game has where gears get useless so fast. Not everyone can get gil fast and for thoese who probably saved up for weeks to be able to get a piece of armor will be really disappointed when it looses is value in such short time after its obtained. Thats one of the places where Yoshi P just needs to stop imo because its killing the game but that goes for all the gears too not just something for the crafters but with the currency etc.

Per the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXV Digest:

However, due to the fact that advanced materia melding of main stat materia will no longer be possible in Patch 3.2, we’ll be increasing the stats of this equipment, and they will be useable for challenging raids early.
