Make crafting more complex.

1 of which is considered a huge moneysink and not profitable (LTW)

...how? I've made gil by the truckload off LTW. I could make tons and tons and tons more if I got off my lazy arse and made more stuff. While leveling, you get skins back from leves, meaning an hour's worth of farming stock lasts pretty much until the next leve. Go back and farm or buy more of the stuff below your level and you can sell HQs on the market for massive profit. While things like ingots are being sold at a huge loss (circa 75%), LTW and WVR are making bank on every craft these days. Massive inflation due to lack of gil sinks and limits on endgame dungeon runs are keeping prices high. Use that.
