[dev1016] Synthesis interface improvements

Self-quote from a previous thread.

2. The synthesis and gathering mini-games- FFXIV absolutely has the best crafting and gathering of any game on the market. Only system coming remotely close is from Vanguard, which was excellant as well. People have been making comments that without a netflix subscription, they wouldn't be able to work up their DoH skills. I definately agree the fun mini-game becomes monotonous after things slow down and the grinding begins. Once I realized mashing standard synthesis overcomes most of the obstacles the mini-game throws at you- grinding while watching a few movies didn't seem like such a bad idea. More challenge, and rewarding intelligent decisions are the key as opposed to making the process easier or faster.

Also, somewhat on topic- I don't want to see hordes of those RMT bots hasty handing fish into shards surrounding the aquarium in LL all day every day; as well as the fishing bots with no bait/lure equipped so all they attract is crayfish sitting at the fishing hole south of Nophica's Wells. Any changes to curb botting activity would be welcome and if it negatively impacted my experience I wouldn't mind since it would hinder RMT.

Love to see critical thinking rewarded instead of steam-rolling standard synthesis. As Raim mentioned, the option to craft same recipe again as the local levequests use would make everyone happier.

Gotta be careful, though. There were a lot of things implemented in this game that were done in order to hinder RMT and botting, but all it's done is just annoy the legitimate players.

(Fatigue, gathering fatigue, market wards, 4 items per trade, restrictive mob claim system, too many menus, etc)
