    This overhaul is a ridiculous overstep. There is no need for half these changes at all. Especially the removal of sub crafts and facilities. The crafting system is already mind numbingly easy. In fact the number one complain I see is that its too easy. Then comes it takes to many ingredients. I have not ever seen anyone complain about having to use a facility or a secondary craft. I'm starting to believe Yoshi's only real design philosophy is "Let's make this game so easy no one will ever have to try."

    I do like the Dye changes and the simpler recipes, but it does not justify dumbing down and already dumbed down system.

    Horrible Idea.

    I'm not sure whether or not these changes are a good or bad thing. But I think a lot of you guys are blowing it out of proportion. You guys keep saying that it will effect the gatherers well then SE will change something in favor of them. (Like changing the price of pre-made NPC bought yarns..ect. making them more expensive so people want materials from gatherers more. Or reducing the drop rate slightly on pre-made items. Not really sure how that's a huge deal. Maybe they can up the drop rate on materials to counter act that change).

    There are so many different ways to change things that this one change isn't the say all end all. And those that are thinking of quitting maybe you should give it a chance. Did you really play all this time just to leave all your hard work behind cause your having a hissy fit over a change that can be changed?

    Not a horrible idea and not mind numbingly dumb. I have definitely seen much easier crafting systems. Some in older MMOs and that same eaasy sytem in NEW MMOS. It's called, "Put all your materials here and press go" And all it does is craft till you run out of materials. THAT is mind numbing!

    I do think the removal of the crafting facilities is a weird choice and not sure which people fussed enough that the devs felt it necessary. Removal of the parts system .... idk. I think it was a cool idea but maybe because the crafting menu was so damn tedious that they just decided to remove those options but didn't take into effect that, once they simplified the ability to craft and not spend hours approving my actions and all the stupid mini menus that come up, leaving those would have been ok.

    I do find it ironic that, they made this change and since changes are based off players, you guys must have been to busy crafting and dealing with parts you missed your opportunity to say "WHOA! Wait a freakin' minute. Please don't do that or this." LOL
