Forcing everyone to craft, Is it good direction for FFXIV?

[TheVedis]

It doesn't work huh? I'm pretty certain that no piece of gear I have had made cost any crafter up to 5 million gil to make unless you felt compelled to pay the ridiculous prices in the wards for the mats. Then the fault lies with you.

I'm not saying that I disagree with paying for repairs. After all, my LS does repairs for free amongst the members. I'm just saying there are notable items that cost way more to repair (via NPC or otherwise) than it would be to just get a new one made.

the only gear going for 5mil+ is endgame NM leve gear, and HQ endgame gear

thanks for all suggestions but the fact is the best way for repairing is the NPC since they can do it for everyone, anytime so they should improve the service of NPCs

best way isnt how id put it

most accessible way would be the better term

and unfortunately, you pay for that by paying the price they charge

._. i dont see the reason for me to go to NPC since i can talk to ppl for repairs.. i prefer this way.. more socializing.

The NPC is NOT the best route since an NPC can't always be with you in the middle of BFE. Right now, the fact that any party member can just switch to a crafting class in between battles for a quick fix is largely useful instead of waiting for a break to either spend the time to run back or port back for repairs. Convenient? Yes. Best? Hardly. The biggest problem with switching it to rely on NPCs is that crafters would lose a huge chunk of their importance in the game. If they had some other purpose, then I don't think it would be as big of a loss but many crafters rely on repairs to be important.

I do agree that NPCs do need to be able to repair accessories though. And it NPCs were the sole focus for repairs, it would make an even bigger gil sink...

It should be the best way in normal situation... like a vendor machine, you can drink ice coffee 24/7 when you're live in the city

then when you go to hiking, a friend with good cooking abilities is better way

no need to worry about crafter important, you still be the best choice for outdoor repairing

sorry but no
then there would be no reason for anyone to repair anything, crafters would become useless in that regard

they still have abilities to create new items

you arent getting the point

[Evangela]

you arent getting the point

my point is I just want the game to be friendly to everyone, not everyone love crafting

and I fell asleep immediately everytime I try to craft
