Is YOUR server this way?

Well still you have no evidence that these people have stopped crafting because of these changes, as I said it could just be they have become bored of 1.19 and are taking a break or they have finally grown bored of the game in general.

It could be that the under cutting is causing them not to craft anymore, I have given you multiple reason what could have caused these changes.

Of course neither of use can be 100% certain, it is what it is though, as I said before though it doesn't concern me as I know people who can make me stuff or make it myself to some extent and I help people out as well, but I don't make and put items on the market wards because its not worth the effort when 15 other people are waiting to under cut me.

Again more assumption, I never said people stopped crafting. I said the numbers have dropped, and by a lot. I don't know the case on Lindblum, but on Besaid I see more materials (Like skins, hides, etc.) than processed items and equipment. And there are a lot less crafters compared to the last year, or more specifically, last few months. I'll agree with you that it isn't all due to these changes, but they do play an important part. I used to know several crafters (I still do know a few, but often they're busy or have disappeared too now.) and a few I did speak to would comment how they didn't like the changes. Is that why they left? Don't know...

The whole point behind this thread was to ask if people are having the same issues on their servers. That being less crafters around, harder time getting some items made, higher prices on some items, and a much quieter community that stays to themselves. From looking at some replies here that's definitely the case. Some servers (I believe Lindblum from the look of your replies.) don't have these issues though.

@ darkstarpoet1 Fair enough if you say that the changes have adversly changes the entertainment value you get from crafting I'll have to believe you, as I said crafting has always been monotonous and boring for me.

Again more assumption, I never said people stopped crafting. I said the numbers have dropped, and by a lot.

What the what !!

So they stopped crafting then hmm ?

As for the rest well, I guess we will see what happens when 1.20 releases, when they add the HQ crafting system and new recipes and other stuff.

Jinko just stop... This is becoming a pointless argument that's going to get the thread closed. My response does not mean they've stopped crafting. They very well could be still doing so, but far more less than normal. I suppose it could be taken that way but you're just on the verge of trolling now.

EDIT: Back on the topic, I'm gonna have to face I'll have to start raising my own crafts I guess. But on the flip side doing so I can at least help others where as someone else will look at the request and just ignore it.

[Jinko]

Seriously ??, me replying to your post is trolling ?
Bleh whatever.

I do craft a lot less now, partly because of all the battle contents that we can only "experience before 2.0".
I level slowly, so I have to make sure I put work on my battles classes to be able to see that content too (before it is too late).

Maybe a portion of the crafters just changed their occupation to catch up with battle classes too?

[weeble]

if they stoped it probably cause they finally done with there craft, progression usually is my only motivation, yeah i'ma make items for gils inbetween but once your done getting those fun little yellow boxes saying you've gain exp then it gets mentally tedious. add that to economy sucking eggs and no true motivations to craft then yeah people gonna just stop. if it was for the changes in the crafting i would say it was probably more cause they just keep making things easier while they struggled threw it. people probably sick of all the changes and are starting to wait it out maybe. i personally liked the old system but i also didn't like it, the new hq 100% is probably more better in my opinion, specially for hq'ing quantity. i would of never with old system made quantity hq ..just not worth trying. so if anything the system will fix that, but the hq quality probably should of stayed the same.

Yup this is also why I hate the fact that there's no way to solo sone stuff. Groups simply are not happening here.

[Chardrizard]

I don't craft to sell it at wards anymore, i can barely keep up for myself for spiritbonding purpose. I do however still crafts for whoever that brought me mats, would gladly do so.

Cobalt arrows is a good skillup recipe for woodworkers - Can probably commission a large number of stacks with someone.

Arrows are only 50g/stack here on Kashuan.

Unless you dont have carpenter in your shell, people dont talk or help in this game. You should make friend or get into shell, with the capable carpenter, then you might get the arrows.
