Crafted weapons aren't overpriced. Their price is a direct result of what is needed to make them. The iLVL 70 crafted weapons need mix ins that require tomestones of philosophy to buy. And you need 9 of them. 9. Just for one weapon or armor piece. For the price of getting full vanya (in terms of ATP), you could deck out multiple jobs in full darklight. So you need over 1k ATP to make one of those weapons. If you spent 10-12 hours farming tomestones and other stuff, not to mention leveling up all your crafting and gathering so you could even make the thing (and crafting yourself HQ sets and decking them out with materia, all of which require a lot of time, effort, and/or gil) you probably wouldn't sell it for 5k, either. I'm guessing they are multiple millions, right? That's because someone spent a looong time to make it.

I do think it would be nice if primals dropped 2 weapons. It has to be fun for newbies farming Ifrit, which is a total joke, and just saying screw it I'm going to farm Garuda instead because the time investment is just ridiculous, so you may as well get an actual good weapon out of it.

Also it would be nice if you didn't need 9 potash or whatever to craft stuff. Grind, grind, grind... Of course, once you grind up enough ATP for that stuff, you probably have enough ATM to buy something way better (or use ATP to buy something comparable... and also for less ATP). That part of the progression system is totally busted.
