Whose problem is that? Mine, not SE's. I neither expect nor demand SE give me an easy mode way to level them all to 50 in one day. I understand that if I want to get them to 50, I'm gonna have to put on my big girl panties and get it done. And the same is true for Coil. It's just not that hard anymore. A LS mate who's never even looked at SCOB until yesterday just DF'd their T6 and T7 clear without having a single clue of what they were doing.There's also no real significant storyline that requires crafting, unless you consider Ixali Beast Tribe to be significant storyline (although it does kind of explain how Eorzean airship technology exists). Even the gear obtained through crafting can be obtained without actually doing the content since all of it can be purchased off the Market if a person has sufficiently enough money.
An analogy to being carried into those instances, I think, wouldn't really be equivalent - You need to pull your weight. Not so when you're just buying the item.
(Funnily enough - levelling crafting is easy as pie. It's getting 3-star+ that's "hard", and even then it's only hard because it requires a LOT of materia and a lot of desynths. The Cracks of Buttamut you can rely on your skills - not so for crafting. Your rotation might be perfect, but if you don't got the stats you don't craft.)
Guys, there's nothing in the game that is even equivalent to the Cost of Bahamoney - that's why it's so sought out and why this thread's been essentially carried by it.
