I am not sure if crafting is worthwhile. It seems that people are just farming fates for everything, gear, gil, exp and of course seals. I can't seem to sell much on the markets lately. Odd thing was there was more market activity earlier this week than there is now and personally I think it has a lot to do with the fate system.

Lately, all I see are people spamming LFG for fates. Heck even seen people hang out at popular sanctuaries hunting fates or waiting for them.

By simply examining people I can see their rank and for many they're up pretty high especially the level 40-50's. And if they don't have their AF gear they seem to have gear that's from the Grand Company seals. I guess I am just starting to get worried about the way crafting and the economy is going. It certainly doesn't seem as if the economy is player oriented like how it was in FFXI.
