Getting out of hand

[Avidria]

Its funny because its true. xD

Crafting revamp just made RMT bots job easier to earn GIL, and made it worse for all rest of players.
It was an ultimately unneeded and unfun thing they have implemented in the long time. Crafting is not fun, making gil is, but how in the hell are you going to make gil if the market if bloated with bots beating price on every single item?
The latest patches crafting based are complete waste of time and money, instead of more battle content 90% of players came for, nah lets make crafting for the niche minority that is doing it only for gil.
Also its really discouraging if you realize how much effort is being put in housing, instead of fixing viera and hrothgar issues, instead of giving us more hairstyles and upgrading the oldest character creator in mmorpg history how about you get some completely useless stuff into your house where you already cant place anymore items hmm?

Devs are doing everything in their power to not do stuff that majority is asking for, even fixing hilarious 2B glamour bugs took them a couple of months.

I mean, everyone playing has different interests and priorities, it kinda comes with the MMO territory. I know people who've gone days in row doing nothing but crafting. Some people just enjoy it. Some people are here for the story and friends more than the combat. Giving more things to do is absolutely not, imo, a waste of time. Having an absolute ton of crap to do is a huge part of why I played WoW for 15 years, and the only reason I'm not anymore is because of some of the downright head scratching decisions Blizz has made over the last few years.

Also, effort into housing? The only effort I've seen is them adding more housing items, which they've always done, and while I do enjoy them greatly, the housing system itself is still an absolute freaking mess they've done close to nothing to address the core problems for, only slapping mediocre band-aid on top of mediocre band-aid. The actual improvements, while good, are few and far between. I agree the character creator needs an update, and the Viera and Hrothgar situation is one of the biggest negatives I have on this expansion right now, but let's not pretend any of that effort is going into housing of all places.

I don't agree with everything the dev team is doing, and in fact disagree with their choices and stance on several things, but I certainly wouldn't go so far as to say they don't care about the game.
