From the way it sounds, the "Difficult" stuff is going to be in the ranking system in Ishgard, and wasn't going to arrive until the rework is complete, which they stated to be in 5.2, when the rankings start in earnest.
Well, if that’s true, it should be coming out in February or January I assume. Also, I’m sure Yoshida knows this by now but, if the rewards for completing these recipes are underwhelming or not worth anyone’s time, hardcore players will not do it. (myself included) So hopefully, it’s something like high end tools/ gear locked behind difficult recipes. Because a shiny Title that says “congrats for being number one” and a tool glamour that nobody will use is quite lackluster. If it was like, some super lewd glamour wearable for both genders, then yeah I can see some folks doing it lol. But obviously tools and gear are preferred.

I’m glad the casual players are enjoying the changes though, they have nothing to worry about pretty much. Just wish Yoshida clarified a little more on the difficult recipes...l
