Now with 1.20 we finally have exactly what everyone has pretty much wanted from day one, but they put a fee on it for convenience. It's kind of a slap in the face lol. Here's what you wanted but you're going to have to pay a little more for it. It's definitely not going to break the bank for anyone or cause anyone to rage quit but it's definitely a little bit of a sucker punch. It's not about the money, but more the principle of it. Just offering a little insight into the other side since many just have the "deal with it" mentality. But who knows, with 2.0 it can all change lol.
I'm in the same boat as you. I spend enough time spamming enter while leveling crafts. It would be nice not to have to run around buying materials from retainers. And as far as gil sinks, I thought materia was like the best gil sink ever for people with hundreds of millions of gil? Trying to 3M or 4M items is only for people with that kind of money and plenty of them blow hundreds of millions of gil trying to do so.

But who knows what 2.0 will bring. The mannequin system might fix things and we might get a decent AH without all this run around MW bs.
