Crafting and Gathering need a QoL change asap.

On topic again:

In EverQuest, everything is one click and done.

You spend hours getting that Tongue of Zfhurghosfo for a combine? You better hope it doesn't fail when you --- oops, nevermind. You failed the combine and lost all materials. TOO BAD.

Yeah, I'll pass on that. Doing things to make sure you don't fail is awesome.

COnsidering 80% if not more of crafters USE MACROS, it's the exact same thing. There are multitudes of guides that basically say "hey here's this macro and it works." which leads people to using it. Moot point.

Iiiiiiiiif you think those two things are the same thing, congrats, you dont know what you're talking about.

I've never sat down in 14 and gone "this combine has a base 37% chance to fail and lose a month worth of time". Crafting those kinds of things in 14 is generally impossible to fail since they arent hq'able.

Actually it isn't the same. No where did I speak about macros.

In EverQuest there are no ways to raise your quality, or outfits to wear to raise crafting stats. Thre is maybe, one? or two tools you can buy to help. And that's about it. FF14 has all these tools that up your chance on making a great item withouth leaving it to RNG to lose everything.
