That's different. That would kill any sense of difficulty. That's like giving every recipe infinite durability. You're also not being included/excluded from raids because one thing requires a blm and another requires no blm. Raiding in inherently dependent on others, making an object is not.

A healthy economy is one where things become affordable, eventually. This won't happen with specialist crafts. People will buddy up and form crafting communities so they don't have to pay crafting fees, while the ones crafting for the marketboard will always keep the crafter's fee on the crafts.

Because when everyone has something to sell, there isn't anything that is unaffordable. As I stated you can just sell your specialist recipes in order to afford the things you can't make.

Unless you don't craft at all, but being poor and not being able to afford much is kinda expected if you don't craft.

I agree that the current system is providing a short-sighted "fix" that will not pan out in the long run.

They also killed the only market crafters had to sell back to gathers with releasing right side i180, and gathering materia is going to drop even further like a rock.

Aren't they introducing Type-2 Counterfoils? They could be the gating for the new books along scrip tokens.

SE has made the decision to keep their MMO an MMO and not a single player game. Even with crafting people need to climb out of their shell and work with others.

The common trend with most games is a faux multiplayer experience (see most phone games). My WAR cant use Cure or Medica etc, so I can see what they are doing with crafting.

specialist is the worst idea on this game,is forcing ppl to look for others,i dont care about the stats as long as they dont lock recepies behind specialists again.

Let's see bonuses before...

House workshop only give +10 SP.

Thinks bonus should be +10 control +10 craftmanship so not more
