I will probably make myself unpopular BUT....I like crafting the way it is. I like crafting for scripts (I just don't like the weekly cap). I also like gathering.

Why? Because it makes me feel as if I actually worked for what I am making. There is effort and investment involved to get somewhere. I spent months with my OH collecting materia to meld equipment and I don't regret it as we now get the fruits of our labor. I am not rich and I refuse to spend millions on stuff. I rather take the time to get them myself. As long as I can craft what I want for me and my friends, I am happy.

And even stranger - I actually LIKE fishing <3
