500 hours into the game and affixing feels like a waste of time, I would only get into it if I have already done everything else in the game

As a new player who didn't do jp, affixing really be losing me. I just started saving weapons to affix, but I haven't started cause to me its so cumbersome. Im sure its simple once I get into it, but damn is it a huge ass pill to swallow.

  PSO2 affixing is one of the only MMO crafting system where you actually craft and where knowledge of the art has value (that is, in most games, crafting is almost economically worthless except where artificial constraints are added, like grinding levels, daily crafts, etc). In that way its the closest to a "real life" crafting as it can be. It does mean its complex.
  
  On the other hand, "god unit" aside, anything worth doing is pretty simple. There's only a finite set of recipes that matter, most of which involve SAF (guaranteed transfers), and generally requires little to no knowledge.
  
  Every time I tried my hands to affixing, I thought my brain was going to explode, then realized 99% of the info was meaningless. The parts that matter are really simple.
  
  The main issue is that the guides try to explain to you everything, and that gives people headaches.
  
  Some things I'd change:
  - Remove the RNG altogether. Since recipes all revolve around getting rid of the RNG, that's also where most of the complexity comes from. It also makes people think everyone with good gear got lucky. We didn't: there was very little to no RNG involved (at least none that would risk me losing anything).
  - Adding to the above, no RNG means no boost week. Boost weeks (and how they have different rates) means there has to be 1 set of optimal recipes for each boost week and for when there's no boost week. That would have to go.
  - Augment transfer passes should NOT let you make stronger units like they do now. They should be readily available resources and should just be used to reuse your work in new units. Right now every new item is a new project. That's too much.
  - An easy way to update existing items without starting over. Right now realistically if you want to change the affixes on an item, you have to start from scratch. You can't do it incrementally (Im told NGS has this).
  
  (Im watching the video as Im typing this). Krono mentions the failure case a lot. Realistically you never risk failure because you never do anything where you could lose something valuable.
  
  So one way to make it more newbie friendly without changing it would be replacing the "% success" in a way that you can't even attempt something that isn't 100% (make it a point system instead of chance system). You could keep all the same recipes, just without making people beleive there's a world where we do <100% stuff. Upslotting and augment insurance systems would have to be revamped though.
  
  NGS removes the depth, but kept some RNG. IMO there was better ways.

honestly, i intricacies i love, but the rng sucks. up the chances by 30% default on affixing and it should be fine. Upslotting chances are fine, that 8 slot is something you need to invest in, since with correct use it can be really strong to have that one extra slot.(advice for people who are going for 6s units, make a 7s if you don't want to go for 8slots, 7slot is easy to make, if you can get that extra slot easily, get it) I was kinda defending pso2's affixing a while back, but after making my GS unit... yeah.. it's a pain in the ass. Reduce the failure chances and it's gonna be "chef kiss". It hurts to invest a lot of meseta and fail. For instance i failed on my gs soul, and succeeded on the last prot ticket..

And honestly, the capsule system... if they're gonna stack, i'm down for that. that's gonna save a ton of space and is gonna be easier to find in storage. Keep the complexity and depth while getting rid of unneeded brick chance. For that i'm all in.

The ability transfer pass was the best thing to happen to the affix system, IMHO. My relationship with affixing has definitely been love/hate through out my time with the game. The only fun part about it for me was the learning process. Learning what combines with what to make what you want. That part is cool. The RNG? That's what made me not update my unit affixes for well over a year after having finally made a solid affix for them. It becomes a huge meseta sink. Probably by design, but the affixing horror stories are real.
