Red Scrips
Maybe I misunderstood the whole point of scrips. I thought it was supposed to be an alternate method of getting gathering and crafting gear (while saving Gil) but the fact that it takes 8-9 weeks just to gear one class seems a bit ridicules to me.
I also find it odd that it takes scrips to get the mats necessary to craft the normal gear anyway so most people that plan on leveling most if not all of their crafting and gathering classes will spend it on materials. I mean, to me it looks like another wall they put up on crafting and gathering when I thought the whole point was to make it easier for the average Joe crafter/gatherer to get to that point where they can make the stuff they want to make.
tl,dr
Scrips are used for favors to collect materials and not for actual gear progression.

I posted that on the lodestone forums and was looking for more input.
