Request: More challanging / difficult content. PLEASE

Some really well put comments in this thread.

It is really dissapointing that crafting is ultimately the best gear in the game, and this is coming from someone who is taking the time to level up my crafts.

In my opinion, they should make some bosses drop craftable matts for a recipe. The item is craftable and tradable only to those who were in the party at the time.

or

Make the matts/finished item auctionable, but the item it crafts, requires a key item from the boss itself ( If you complete the boss, you are then eligible to equip the crafted item )

The above method could also be included to make HNM or NM's serve some purpose in this game other than achievements.

Either way this makes end game gear harder to obtain, but still encourages crafting as a required element of FFXIV (Which is both Tanaka's and Yoshida's vision)
