As you guys may have known already, Yoshida just recently made a Post regarding the whole Ishgard fiasco here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...d-visit./page6
He has pretty much confirmed this so far with this post:
- Difficult recipes will be coming, starting 5.2 and onward.
- Leaderboards, scratch off tickets, all coming 5.2.
- Basically indirectly confirmed that difficult recipes will only apply to Ishgard.
Thing is, if the High difficulty recipes’ rewards are not adequate or motivational enough for hardcore or competitive crafters to do, they most likely will not do them. (At least not on a consistent basis). I’m sure Square Enix knows this, but let me go over the rewards that should be presented for completing multiple High difficulty recipes and reaching the top on the leaderboards:
- High stat tools
- High stat gear
- Glamour that is....well, lewd. Let’s be honest, players won’t be motivated enough to do them otherwise, lol.
- A way to earn a lot of gil.
Minions, mounts, titles....basically useless items to crafters...is just not motivation enough to have them repeatedly do recipes for no gain.
