Dude. It doesn’t matter if we are the minority or not.
The profession is valuable to me and those of us who play the game this way, and there ARE more than you think who play the game this way.
Even if that’s still some how only 1 percent of the population, who cares?
Why are we even discussing this?
you can look at io and get exact numbers. do you think saying “there ARE way more than i think” when you can look at io and see exactly how many? like dude if you’re going to argue actually have a point and not just “more than you think” your way through it.
Its not my point, its yours.
I just showed you 2000k characters proving the 1 percent nonsense wrong, and that wasn’t even CLOSE to just doing a single 15 a week.
Seriously, why are you so worried about this?
It has nothing to do with this topic.
i said 1% about mythic raiding. maybe improve your reading comprehension a bit before trying to argue to avoid looking like a fool?
So only raiders need legendaries?
do you think 593487534954 different legendaries will be good for mythic+ or pvp? thats entirely a raiding thing and you know it. it’s like arguing with a brick wall that doesn’t understand how the game works. did you use the essence from mythic+ in single target fights in nyalotha then as well?
They still are boring and uninspired. The gear besides legendaries will be below heroic dungeons and useless as usual(168 right now).
They had a super cool idea with optional reagents that made all the crafts interact with each other and made crafted gear unique but they ran out of time(as usual) and abandoned it.
The crafted gear went up to 207 on beta and now it’s capped at 168 so it’s utterly useless(as usual).
I would really hate being the profession team. All your work is instantly axed and ruined by Ion and the raid team, so nothing you do ever matter.
In FFXIV every single person buys crafted gear every new raid tier. People beat the entire raid tier IN crafted gear. They then replace that gear with raid gear over time.
Crafting is really fun, crafted gear is really useful. The game isn’t destroyed or unfun due to crafted gear, it’s actually more fun.
I have no idea why Ion and his team hate crafting so much.
Uh what?
Yes, that is exactly my point.
Players will want to use different legendaries for different scenarios.
There will be different permutations that will be best for each spec in each type of content, and many people do play more than one spec and certainly more than 1 type of content.
give pvpers mythic raid level gear from pvp and watch mythic+ and raiding at heroic and above literally die. do you think most give a crap about anything but ilevel from raiding gear? i know you’ve been on the forums. johnny peeveepee doesn’t give a crap about raiding leggos. and the only reason a lot of raiders bother with pvp at all is because their gear lets them farm noobs who don’t have pve gear to carry them. that’s why random bgs are popular but things like arena and rated bgs at an all time low in participation.
I really am having trouble following how this is related to professions.
Can we please stop this?
you can stop responding any time you’d like. you don’t have to respond at all just because someone says something to you. 
Right, neither do you.
I WAS interested in seeing this topic develop though, until you led me on this wild tangent.
Sadly, it seems we have killed it entirely.
you seem to have trouble not having the last word. lets see how many more pointless posts you’ll make just to have it. 
I can see why you’d think that for sure. I try my best to keep a conversation going because even if it doesn’t appear to be going anywhere, I hope that it can help some one who might be an onlooker.
In this case though, that likely was at the cost of this thread, which I regret because I was really interested in hearing what other people thought of professions.
the entire thread was derailed because a few people said they’d create only their BiS legendaries and you doubled down on “more than you think” number of people creating all leggos just to have them. you can scroll up and see more than just me telling you that. you and i are both equally stubborn which is why we’re still talking but that doesn’t negate the fact that multiple people agreed with me and no one agreed with you. 
Ya, like 2 other people lol.
Unfortunate.
Oh well, thanks for whatever this was!
have a nice night, metro.
What the hell you do that you are losing money with progessions?
All that tells me is you really didn’t do Alchemy.
You have to have tools of the trade and a good string of procs to make a profit with flasks.
if you can make more from selling the herbs than you can from selling a pot or flask and you craft and sell you’ve literally thrown money away.
