Then again... theres so many problems with the game that its hard to believe they play it at all. Gotta be playing the test version that looks sorta like TERA.
Not sure if you mean whether they are playing it now, or before release?

I'm sure you know that they most likely didn't have the time to dick around with the crafting system prior to release. SE was sort of in that "Fuck it lets release as is, we don't have time" kinda mood. As for the beta testers (which I know you were one of them, i subbed to you. ), the feedback that was provided wasn't looked into because of the release.

People need to realize that this game wasn't the same game anybody on that development team really envisioned when it released. If i was on that dev team, I'd have a strong desire to facepalm myself until this game is better, and that palm print on my forehead would last me the rest of my life.

There are changes coming to crafting, but I'm not sure i it deals with the crafting process itself, just the item output and results.
