i see what you are saying, but in the same aspect some people hate many of the classes in game, but others like them.

i know many people that hate fishing, but i enjoy it as it's one class i can sit back and relax while doing.

some hate mages....i do hate conjurer.....stupid horrible heal range.

some hate mrd and gla because they miss too much for them. gladiator was my first class to get to 20, but it is one of my lowest classes now.

the thing is people are not the same and not everyone likes the same things. some people enjoy crafting and find it quite rewarding, but others do not. i will say this though i have not seen anyone say they quit the game because of crafting. i have seen many say they quit the game for lack of things to do and a battle system they do not like.
