I get that you don't like the changes. But don't imply that the current timesink is anything other than that--you've already talked about the "hours and hours" you've put into it.
The whole game is a timesink. Take away the timesinks you take away the game. That applies to every game. Just because you spend time playing a game doesn't mean it's bad. Improving your character should always require time, otherwise what's the point of adding new content? Too many kids gotten used to opening their new game, inputting the god mode cheat and playing through it over the years.

Iron for starters? Silver, copper, tin, zinc, cedar, oak, pine, mahogany, maple, willow, walnut, yew, chestnut, need I go on? Just have a look in the masons and woodworker wards for any I missed.
