To the person whom asked about Hempen Crap, you rank so fast in the game for the first 20 ranks, its just not worth buying anything under Rank 20. If anyone put their mind to it, they can go from Rank 1 to 20 in ANY class in less than a day, and even in as little as a couple hours depending on what class they choose. Also the loss in durability/points in the gear from 1 to 20 is so minimal don't waste your time with those weapons, armors, tools, etc...

Anything to dumb down the crafting system is a bad idea, there are plenty of players whom enjoy the crafting system and don't really enjoy the battle system as much. You are favoring the Lazy Crafters whom think I should press 1 button do 20000 synths and become Rank 50 in whatever I want as long as I had the materials.

The last thing we need is for Crafting to become brainless, and become simple. If it takes 30+ minutes to gather materials for an item you want, you are going to value that item more. If you press the easy button and can mass produce them 1000 times easier, you will soon have everyone crafting everything, the materials you use to make items will cost 10 times more than buying the items and soon the economy fails. I hope the simplification only comes to the first 20 ranks and nothing after. There needs to be value to the crafting system, with dumbing it down, you are wasting all the hard work you put into making it the way it is.

PLEASE SE - DO NOT DUMB DOWN CRAFTING! IF ANYTHING MAKE IT HARDER!
