Some feedback as a multiple returning player.

I forgot about craftables. Its true they are viable. My problem is my crafters fall behind for the same reason albeit a little slower. I can't justify spending large amounts of gil on gear that will become obsolete later on. I'm not rich either at any given time but the gear is alot less gated anyway assuming you want to spend all hours of the day obtaining gil instead of tomes or whatever you actually "want" to do playing the game.

I really do not understand when people talk like this. How is spending time to make money any different then spending time doing the same dungeon 10 times a day to get some drop or tomes? One needs to ask themselves do I spend less time making 400k to buy a 250 gear piece or or doing x yz for 230,235, 240,260 gear? (depending what you are referring to) What is most fun for you to do? How do you value your time? I strongly believe people miss the cliché saying of time is money and what it really means. There is also 220 gear that you do not need anything special to make. What is "gating" you anyway?

But for some reason sometimes people insult you for using crafted gear but I guess that was from a defensive person unable to come up with any other insult when my friend pointed out this ninja could of used LB3 some point before she used the range LB. (we wiped with it at 1%, if he would used melee lb when she had, it would been dead) Really shocked he called it market board gear when her name was on them.
