Lmao ikr. Crafting doesnt test reaction time. It doesn't even test strategic thinking when you can just follow guides and macros. But it still had depth for people who want to play with mechanics like Whistle. And it rewarded people who put in the effort.

FF14 today is like a welfare state gone wrong where everyone is just handed free 90 crafters.
