As someone who played enjoyed crafting in XI so much that I only made it to level 60 before maxing out all of my crafting skills. Making gil was challenging since it cost a lot to level. People in my linkshell could usually find me pretty easy standing at the same spot every day selling things at the AH.

I was hoping for the same thing with XIV. The mini game was great at first and became a single button spam with the same unbalanced leves a year later. I haven't even tried to sell anything really and still have millions of gil. I like goal oriented content and the best thing to work for as a crafter is just basically re-leveling said craft.

I guess people enjoy the battle content more than I do and most of the updates are geared toward that. If that was my cup of tea maybe I would consider sticking around.
