Hunted mats need rebalancing compared to mined/harvested mats in recipes
In 2.0:
Most leathers require 1 skin
Most ingots require 3 ore
Most lumber requires 3 logs
Most thread requires 2 web/fleece/flax/cotton/whatever
In 3.0:
Most leathers require 3 skins
Most nuggets require 5 sands
Most lumber requires 5 logs
Most thread requires 3 new mats and 2 old mats
Chimerical felt requires 5 manes
All dissolvent requires 4 Deepeye Tears AND 2 of some other hunted mat AND Volcanic Rock Salt (unspoiled node)
HOWEVER, the time/effort it takes to gather 3 skins for one leather is way out of proportion compared to gathering 5 sands/logs for one intermediate mat for those classes. Consider a fair comparison established by the developers: retainer targeted gathering ventures. These were balanced in 2.0 to yield a fixed fraction of what the developers expected people to gather in an hour. Hunting retainers gather 5/7/10 skins per venture depending on gear/level. DoL retainers gather 15/20/30 ore per venture. In 2.0, this was proportional because of the above ratios of base mats to crafted intermediates. 1 venture was worth 5 leather or 5 ingots. In 3.0, 1 venture is worth 3 nuggets but only 1.67 leather. The proportion is all wrong! Please rebalance the number of hunted mats required for certain recipes, whether it be by increasing the drop rate from killing mobs or from retainer venture, or decreasing the number required by each recipe.

Regarding a specific thing mentioned at a recent event with Yoshi-p
On that note, I also feel the need to warn about being too hasty with nerfs to Burden of the Son (Savage).

Another FFXIV Red Mage Kit Idea
Relic: Joyeuse has been used already in the Little Ladies' event this year, though it would've been the ideal rapier. Either the Last Letter or Diabolique would work in its place. As for the off hand...the Soul of Thamasa seems like a good Orb to give a nod to.

Adding dps as a healer won't be needed
Players actually advanced through endgame content like the Bahamut Coil raids much sooner than the developers expected. These raids are limited by Final Fantasy XIV DPS and healing checks, requiring players a minimum of equipment stats to complete

I really hope FFXIV 3.0 gives us some way make money
Its so painfully easy to make money, even off just running dungeons and selling the mats that comes out of it, that there is a huge deficit of ffxiv gil supply to demand already. A good portion of us literally have millions, and no way to spend it. We need more ffxiv gil sinks, not more ffxiv gil fountains.

For those that want skill bonuses on gear: How would you do it?
partly because the developers would not have to create dozens of versions of the same piece of gear just for different bonuses, and players would have to choose between getting the ability bonus and using a stat materia instead.
