Hell, I was a BiS crafter before the expansion dropped but now I just don't want to do it anymore because I don't want to make what was a fun system into a weekly chore.

The simple cure is to remove red scrips entirely and make everything done via blue scrips, leaving the weekly cap out. Or unlock red scrips, whatever works easiest. The appeal of crafting and gathering before HW was that you could take it at your own pace, and if you were behind you could grind to catch up. Now you either need to have stockpiled millions upon millions of gil or turn your playtime into a chore to get anywhere. That's not fun.
