Non-Flame crafters getting burned

[Sephrick]

Well, it seems like those promises of "pick a GC for the story, items won't be an issue" are a wash.

Not too much JP players happy about this post from the Rep.
Thread talks about Uldah's new GC gear which has crafting skill up (pants/shoes) which Limsa/Gridania doesn't have and they are saying YoshiP promised it wont affect which country you chose and this kind issue popped up.

皆さん、こんばんは。
Good evening every one,

ウルダハンサージェント・サルエル／ウルダハンサージェント・クラ コーが、不滅隊のみで交換が可能になっているなど、1都市でしか入手できないアイテムがありますが、こちらは今後追加されるアイテムでもちろんバランスを 取っていきます。特定のグランドカンパニーじゃないとこの性能の装備品は手に入らない！ということにはなりませんのでご安心ください。
There are items such as Flame Sergeant's Sarouel/Flame Sergeant's Crakows which can only be obtained from 1 city but we will balance them out with items released in future so not being in specific GC to obtain specific gear! type of situation wont occur so please don't worry.

また、ロミンサンボウ／グリダニアンショートボウ／ウルダハンコンポジットボウに関して、確かにダメージ値だけを見るとウルダハンコンポジットボウが強く見えますが、1秒間あたりのダメージ量（DPS）では、3つの装備品に大きな差はありません。
Also for bow for Limsa/Gridania/Uldah - although if you look at the damage value Uldah's one looks strong but for DPS there isn't much difference.

また何かあればフィードバックをお願いします。
If there is anything else please leave a feedback

**start a new thread if there isn't any already**
Basically JP players saw this post and some are pissed off that Rep said "released in future" if you know from FFXI when they say "In future" it can be months later which just puts that other city in lead and unlike FFXI you can spend more GC points on other cities to try and obtain so that isn't helping that rep post either, they also saying for the bow even though the Damage value is different and wont affect much on the DPS but how about damage on WS? stuff like that..

gonna say again... *start a new thread about this one if there isn't any to talk about this one*

I know they're saying they'll balance it "in the future" but there's no reason for this. It feels like we're being punished for leaving Ul'dah.

You can't put crafting skill + materia to pants/shoes, can only attach them to main/sub tool so doesn't really help there either

Ul'dah doesnt get +Output rings

Accept you can't put crafter's materia on legs. Only tools.

[Sephrick]

True, but they have a comparable ring which gives Gathering and Perception instead of Output and Perception.

You can put materia with crafting class stats (Dex for weaver, VIT for leatherworker) on the other gears.
