But now? Buy a few NQ materials for like 20,000 gil on the market, click a one button macro you found online and bam, 100% guaranteed you get a piece of end game crafting gear that can be used by all crafting classes. A few minutes of effort right now get you what would have taken dozens of hours to get back then.

I think you forgot why everyone hates RnG though.


Crafter A crafts 20 hrs a week and after a month has nothing to show for it. - well and good, it's "difficult".


And then Crafter B logs in, crafts for 2 hrs a week and in a month, has 3 or 4 of the super rare item and you can't convince them it was ever difficult. It wasn't for them because RnG.
