again, cant agree with that, nothing stops people from loading 1 person up with all the mats needed to craft the item and basicaly getting the same results as just giving them the finished product

the system promotes teamwork as is, im sorry if you dont have a team to work with, but thats just how it works

and nothing forces you to have to work on this now when everyone is competing for it(speaking of competting, werent people BEGGING for a way to compete with others in game, and now we have it hint hint)

give it a few more weeks and the overly serious people wont be overly donating anymore and those who dont want to spend 20mil gil in drops every run will get their chance to get top 3, and so on
