Are you a developer? Do you realize what an undertaking it is to entirely redesign something like the client/server structure of FFXIV? I mean you do realize that the underlying mess of code is the heart of the problem here, right?

Do you know what the real 2yr old issue is? its not the crashing, its losing all your mats when you crash during synth.

and since i said ARR isn't guaranteed not to crash on you at inconvinent times, but I hope at least they have something set up so come back and are still crafting what you were crafting where you left off, instead of losing it completely. It should be obvious I understand computer programs have their flaws.

That's not a problem at all because you used your items the second you start synthesizing, which means your items were consumed, which means they're gone long before you even disconnect or crash.

It is a problem, because you didnt have the opportunity to fail normally. Do you see a problem with coming back from an unfortunant disconnect or crash where you left off in your craft? I'ts not going to help people exploit 'almost failing' and getting their stuff back, they would just come back where they left off - almost failing - and fail as normal. really, problem? It's too late for this for the current client, but will be a great thing for ARR.

You can't be serious, that definitely is a problem, just one they chose not to fix

they cant without rewriting the entire Armory system. at this point it would be like peeling a baseball to get to its core fixing the core then trying to wrap it all back up, so they've gone with the just Disable it method instead of breaking the game every new patch.

I wasn't arguing that, I was arguing that it was in fact a problem
I guess it isn't Yoshi's fault that the original devs didn't understand that making the mats be consumed upon success would be a better idea

but then you could force DC to save your mats if the synth was going south. other games get away with this because there is no progression based crafting, in short the game decides if you succeed or not.
