I craft items that are many levels higher than my current level all the time. Highest exp I've gained from a craft was 750, and I'm sure I could have pushed for an even higher item than that. And guess how I accomplished that synth? I spammed standard. Sure it gets expensive if I fail a few, but since I'm succeeding the majority of my synths these are acceptable losses.

I don't know how quality factors into this argument as I don't really pay attention to making HQ items at my level. At this point, I only care about getting to level 40+ so I can start putting materia in my gear. Maybe I'll worry about HQ's on high level items that actually go for decent amounts on the market, but at my level it seems pointless to worry about HQ.

Not really. You can make something more bearable by making it more fun. For example, if they changed the current crafting system to provide exp chains or combos for successfully crafting, it would make gaining exp more fun and more people would pay attention while they craft.

Spamming enter to level up is repetitive, tedious, and boring, and that's why you see so many posts about people who craft while watching a movie or doing something else.
