o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

[MariyaShidou]

I never thought it was complicated in the slightest,
The only times id get meh about it was when i needed a R30 BSM item for a R5 Carp tool.
Or if I needed a dye'd version of some leather.

I still think the main issue with it is not having a good in game crafter's book/menu.

It's complicated because you need to make part, like real life. You don't put two iron ingots together and an Excalibur is made. It's the sole reason why I like to craft in this game, whereas I largely ignore them in other games.
