What bothers you most about the current synthesis system?

[RahJah]

so your saying you should be allowed to craft every item in the game at level 1?

that in itself is just retarded in its own right then

Crafting should be fun, not a chore that we loathe.

Goal: I would love to make my own gear and farm ALL my own items; I am not alone!

Questions: How many hours of grinding would it take to accomplish my aforementioned goal?
Answer: Too many for the MAJOR majority of players globally.

Solution: Devs read all the comments promoting grind elimination. Hopefully by 2.0, we can craft/gather ALL our own items without having to grind for EVERY DoH/DoL job.

lol no. You're not considering pthat people do find crafting to be fun as is.

We're meant to rely on eachother in a player run economy, not be all self-sufficient from the get-go.

When you say "people" do mean all people? the majority of people? If so, NOT TRUE.

I agree with the "rely on eachother in a player run economy" comment. Perhaps it would require a party to unlock the crafting jobs. Perhaps we need to gather ingredients in parties in order to survive. I really like the idea of synergistic crafting/gathering and TEAM WORK!

Sorry I cant stay to chat anymore! I have to write the Thesis. One more year, and I will have time to play more FFXIV!

DEVS PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA FOR ELIMINATION OF THE CRAFTING GRIND!

Peace.

Hey Dev Team! This RahJah guy right here- a prophet of crafting and game design genius. Heed his words. Scrap all your plans and all the work in development for 2.0 involving crafting, and start from scratch so you can build this generic, nearly non-existent crafting system in its place. Why didn't I think of that!

Seriously guys, he's using caps! That means his point is much more valid. Besides, he's writing a thesis- and that's relevant because it means he's very smart. The devs have to see this and restructure!

still not going to happen, take those ideas to a new game, here, we have access to ALL CLASSES right off the bat

crafting wont get jobs like combat(we will however get artifact gear)


also, teamwork is there, just not as much as near launch now that people have had almost 2 years to get their crafts up so we have more people with multi 50 crafts, when you see the cap raise youll once again see more of this teamwork, and itl be a continuious cycle as such with each cap raise til each time people have had time to level everything


i understand you dont like crafting as is, but i hate to tell you it is not a majority thing that crafting isnt liked. most people who are on the hate crafting bandwagon hate it in general and still wont do it regardless of how its changed
the rest of you just want something that isnt there and wont be there because you want to do everything and feel that if it isnt catering to how you want to do it it has to be bad and must be changed
