Instead of charging/punishing the player base.

    Not the point. Those tokens sitting in a tab like that have data associated with them which needs to be accounted for. With them able to be tossed aside when you no longer need them, that's data they no longer need to store.

    They really can't do the same token since then you can do a bunch of Kobold quests and get Vath rewards. They need to be distinct to the tribes to separate what you can buy with them.

    As far as shrinking recipes, I'd be all for reducing the total number of materials needed, there's a TON of recipes at 60 that require an abhorrent amount of materials. However, like the beast tribes, the 5 different types of blood come from enemies of varying difficulty. Once again this is to force you to have to go to higher-level areas with higher level jobs to get those materials. Every single MMO breaks up their crafting like this, it's nothing new. The trouble is that none of the materials are never really unnecessary at the higher levels which forces you to hold on to far more materials than you should have to.

    So what they're doing now is solving the technical aspect by working on the way they save the data as well as updating the hardware, and the PS3 support drop probably helped a bit too. It's a work in progress, and we're just going to have to be patient is all.
