Square Enix, please think about both Casual AND Hardcore crafters..

You mean, like a competitive crafting focused area where the players themselves determine the rate of progress while also competing for the top leaderboard spot for whatever rewards they entail?

Something like that?

No. I mean like crafting actually in and of itself rewarding investment in it by opening up a wider selection of crafts, rather than the situation that existed in SB and will almost certainly exist in ShB where you can hammer out a few ezpz scrip turn ins and get casual gear that will still let you 100% HQ top tier crafts. If you are wearing vendor gear, you should not be able to make the current highest star crafts. Period.

You can clear ultimate and savage in vendor gear ezpz.
