o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

[Kamaru]

Let's put on the table that the current crafting system is ridiculous for reasons stated such as you need to be rank 30 <insert craft> to make a part for a rank 5 <insert craft> synth. So they we're left with two options: 1: remove the parts 2: adjust the ranks of parts required and basically overhaul (the first option is an overhaul as well but not on the same scale) the entire crafting system. One of these options is far more time consuming than the other and SE has a lot on its plate atm. I for one would rather see them devote their precious time to other endeavors like fixing stats.

Finally, what's the point of this? Once the changes are posted it's going to happen no matter how loud people whine and cry. The developer's have already invested hours into this revision, on a game that is currently F2P, so it's going to happen. Right now you only have speculations on how you THINK it will effect the game, but you don't really know what's going to happen. This happens all the time in MMORPGs. There is announcement of a nerf or change and people start screaming and crying before they actually see how it works and the devs always wait it out. More often than not, the change turns out not to be as bad as expected, with the pros outweighing the cons, and we all move on until the next unexpected change. Rarely does the change turn out to be so bad that they actually revert/revise it :-/
