Don't do chaotic raid again

1) you can craft your own gear, it isn’t hard and doesn’t take that long to gear up one class
2) Gil is worthless in this game, run your daily’s need or greed on everything and sell the seal products and you can basically pay for crafted gear alone let alone the 1049591060295&1$ other methods of obtaining Gil

Excessive savage release over casual content is fair enough but delaying savage for near two months to allow someone who plays 1 hour per month to gear up is just pointless and further renders the crafters useless

Yes it does. It takes me ages to level crafting. I still haven't finished levelling crafting now. And gathering and wasting materials while you work out a recipie that doesn't break and fail. It takes so long , and for me... its just sooo boring. I just cant do it. Custom deliveries is all the tie I want to spend on crafting. As for gil, I don't know what your doing but I', break even on gil. I don't RP I'm not spending it on glams. About all I'm spending it on is food for Exs actually.
Crafted gear just isn't an option. Unless again, you want to delay so I can get that levelled. I don't enjoy levelling crafting unless I can spread it out a bit here and there. And I don't have the gil.

unless... crafted gear lasts a 'whole' expansion... that I can afford... maybe it does... let me see... nope I cant work it out it looks like there is only one. But I dont see how that can be the case.

(Oh and I had two weeks of from release where I basically did nothing but DT. I'm not playing 1 hour a week)

This is a bit off topic, but if you're not wedded to working out crafting rotations completely by yourself, I've found https://craftingway.app/ to be a great starting point. Also, Trial Synthesis is a thing (you only need to waste food and pots).

There is also teamcraft that can either give you rotations, or let you play with trailing without using foot and pots.

Thank you for this. I really do appreciate the attempt to help but the problem is it's boring. There is another problem too. And then you have to type out all the macros by hand. You could just crossbar the actions in, but one mistake, or you lose your place and your while recipe and mats are FCKd.
The point is if, 90% of people are removing the complexity with tools. Then just eliminate the complexity from the actual game in the first place, and let the rest of get back to 'playing' with crafting.
There are twice as many abilities as there should be. With way to many different probabilities to track or get a 'feeling' for.
