It takes somebody with the name "cookiecutter" to have that opinion.

I'm glad that crafting isn't that brainless anymore. Currently, it's fairly easy. Just on lunch I had an FC member provide me the Sealant, and I cafted him his BSM Artisan off hand tool. Did I ever doubt I couldn't HQ it for him? No. Why? I can macro all the 1-2* Synths, and reliably HQ all 3* Synths. If you enter a 4* Synth with all HQ materials guess what? It's easy to HQ. Can you macro it? No, so you actually need to pay attention.

@OP - you should check out the Disciple of the Hand Forums for these types of answers. There's a LOT of great threads over there includnig crafing macros etc.
