Crafting wasn't more difficult. If anything, it was easier, but with slower SP gain. You're confusing "more difficult" with "slower".

Back then, all you had to do was spam "rapid synthesis". The mechanic was exactly the same boring system we have now. The only thing that's changed is that we now spam "normal" instead of "rapid". There was no risk with spamming rapid, either.

The only way crafting was "more difficult" back then was because SP gain was not as high as it is now, and you needed more SP to gain a rank. The menu system was also still screwed up and with many redundant steps so that it took much longer to complete a synth back then than it does now. Also, item stacks were less back then as well, an the UI lag was much worse.

That doesn't change the fact that at its core, the crafting system has always been "press 'enter' a bajillion times until you get to rank 50".
