I remember Gaia that Alchemy would be a challenge.
I think most people expect it to be a challenge for other people, and easy for them.
Really....
It's not challenging at all to try and complete alchemy formulas where the items simply don't exist but are listed emotion_awesome
See what some people don't realize is that this is not based on hard work at all.
A luck based system is not a challenge. Sure you can always buy the smattering of components but once those are used up, you'd have to wait until someone finds it again to even buy.
How does that have anything to do with hard work when the items needed DON'T EXIST?
I totally get that they wanted to slow it down but there were other ways of slowing it down. That does involve listening and so far I will say none of the staff listens until that key person or persons who is able to change things, actually changes things.
Till then ALL of Gaia gets a share of the blame. Enjoy the reputation guys, you've really earned it.
