    i guess a lotta ppl gathering, even if mats are dirt cheap?

    The new craft feel harder to me, due to reduced durability cap. Still quite doable, but my point/hr gone down a bit compared to P2.
    Maybe that partial factor too, dunno.
    I turned in stuff and it didn't even show me on the leaderboards and they weren't even at 100 yet. Most of the stuff I turned in was at 11pm to 1am and the tally happens at 1am so I don't know what is going on with it maybe the cut off time is earlier in the day.

    i didn't even try hard this time, crafted 3 hrs, got 38k points, and somehow still 2nd place on day 1.

    If people want title bad enough, they can get it easy this phase.

    A lot of people will gather for first few days, and then power craft through all the mats for a huge amount of points at once.

    Probably a lot of people were figuring out the expert crafts with the new recipes. I'm sure there are many who didn't even do it last time so are learning how to do it this go around. Also, a lot of people sandbagged last season. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people do that this time as well.

    How? share your rotation since i find it hard to believe you got that score in 3 hours without a shitload of luck

    Also there isnt much figuring out rotation, the exact same rotation i used last time still works. Just needed some melding.

    - Title, achievement are still tied together.
    - New set of ranking achievements, but same titles.

    So people who are happy with title from round 2 and ok with never ever getting these achievements, they can skip the rankings.

    For people who wants the achievements or the titles, they still need to craft/gather 10 hours a day for 9 days.

    For people already with the titles and still wants the titles for completionist sake, they still need to craft/gather 10 hours a day for 9 days and in the end they are going to occupy the top 12 ranks and deny other people of a chance for the title.

    The issue just got...worse?

    Yes, you did miss something.... a lot so it seems. The decisions made were discussed thoroughly before why they were made. They were also made based on discussions with the player base. Go look at the lodestone update. The problems you are referring to also seems to be just problems of your making... you assumed something that is far off from when the titles, achievements and how they were supposed to work when they were announced at the start of the content in rounds 1 and 2.

    feels like 2 conflicting statement;
    because 38k/3hrs is quite low (but okay for initial attempt as u are figuring things out)
    but also say isn't much to figure out... but there is if you think ~12k/hr is difficult ?_?
    rn avging 25-30k/hr, which still can be improved
    trouble is staying focused and not tabbing out (like to the forums lol)

    The new expert recipes are prohibitively difficult as you're basically required to have fully overmelded 490 gear if you want to be able to hit minimum collectability semi-reliably.

    I think that alone is likely to weed out a lot of the competition.
