I find it insanely stupid that my choices in spending red scrips is either spending 1-3-weeks worth of red scrips for gear that I can't dye or meld, or having to level a gatherer to the point of having folklore nodes unlocked (or spending massive amounts of gil) for crafting mats. It would be like gating Esoteric gear behind crafted tokens, which of course is a terrible idea [I know SE likes its time gates, but please don't actually implement that].

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing the scrip system in general just die. It makes crafting a tedious chore every week, and doesn't even help new players, which it was apparently designed to do.
