Hi SE Team~
I just got back from Tokyo FFXIV cafe, and figured heck, why not give the go.
Started gear grind my main, running through quests, until I realized:
I'm flat broke.

So I go check my 50-60 DOH and DOLs, and found I'm screwed.
No scaling has been attempted to alleviate the scrip grind.
I can't get the current Heavensward recipes, they are all stuck behind mind numbing, time gates.
With Stormblood approaching, I was hoping to catch up.


If the intent is that crafting is for "hardcore" players only, you've succeed.
Not fun, and I just won't resub.
Content splurge->unsub->wait 12 months -> resub 2 months -> content splurge-> unsub.

I was much happier when FFXIV was casual fun with a great community.
I'd log in, do things I'd have time for, and log off like I'd made a difference / made progress.
Now, I guess since crafting isn't a thing, I'll just gear for story and log off.

You can change this. You have the power.
Be better than World of Warcraft...
