Things have always gotten harder for newer players as nas removed things to make stuff easier. But things can't just stay that way forever, and the earlier a change like this happens the less of an effect it has on all the future players.

I don't see how this is true. All these changes are additive and create more separation to a 1% that exist over the newer player. The earlier these things happen just create the gap earlier and don't end up being healthy at all when it comes to wealth distribution.

If the crafting change happened when we had 20 players instead of 1000, you'd see a lot less effect from that.

Yes, it may seem 'too late' to make changes, but over time, those changes will reduce in visible severity.

The problem here isn't that crafting HQ rates were changed, it's that they were changed to values that seem to be even worse than what we should expect. I did over 150 synths today at tier 1 HQ and had 3 HQs. That is something worth discussing: the fact that day/direction/moon were removed were something that puts us in a place with fewer HQs, yes, much fewer for T0 and T1, but not an amount that we'd feel for very long if it wasn't for the fact that we HQ a lot less than we should without those.

Unless you're going for T0 HQs exclusively or something.

I have pretty much given up on crafting @ skill level 31.7. I lose far too many mats trying to level to make it worth it.

If you're synthing at a loss (gil-wise) on items that wouldn't sell anyway, failing a synth and losing all the mats at worst, but usually only a mat or two, isn't really worse than synthing that same non-selling item and succeeding and losing all the mats every synth.

Once you've skilled up, then you can synth for profit.

Sorry you've given up but even the veteran crafters probably would. It's just too rough later on. Just save your Gil and pay the older players who were here first until it's next change.
