It's time for crafter level boosts

I'm 100% for this. Nothing better than newb crafters to fleece as they gear up towards endgame and find out it's bots bots bots.

A raider here isn't forced to delve into crafting to get things they need for raiding. They can farm up gil instead and buy from crafters. If they don't want to do that, then they level their crafters up like anyone else has to for things they want or need. This keeps the market healthy, unlike other games where crafting is not just side content but has also had its economy completely destroyed. The suggestion here by the OP, troll thread or not, is they want to get the benefits of crafting for their raiding because they only like raiding. They don't care that they would destroy the crafting economy with this suggestion because only raiding and things that support raiding are important. *That* is what's unhealthy.

I think you didn't read the rest of my post if you somehow thought that was advocating for raiding above all. What I said was that anything except MSQ is side content with its own requirements. Players either agree to those requirements and progress through the content, or choose not to and don't progress. Some folks don't have a single Triple Triad card. There are requirements to taking part in that, but they've decided it's not for them. Some people like to do the sightseeing logs or achievement hunt. Those also have their own specific requirements. The nice thing about a theme park MMO like XIV is that outside of the MSQ, we can pick and choose what we want to take part in. We just don't get shortcuts with it because it's not our preferred content. Everyone has the same requirements for the optional content.

don't bother, it's a troll who's on a crusade against anything he perceives as elitism and that people are actually upvoting his drivel is concerning
