o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

[Okiura]

I wouldn't consider removing a few steps from crafting dumbing it down at all.
You'd still have to craft materials if you were doing it from scratch. It's just less stuff. Craft an ingot instead of crafting an ingot then a hammer head. That's all. It doesn't make it require any less braincells.

If you had to press less buttons on a remote control to get to the channel you want, that wouldn't be dumbing anything down. It's making something faster/more convenient. Same thing for crafting.

I can't wait to see how SE intends to make crafting more difficult at higher ranks. Should be interesting.

the removing of a few items wouldn't = dumbing down it'd = streamlining, removing of the whole parts system amd more importantly the need for a subcraft (the random inbalance in mats is what needs to be sorted) does = dumbing down.

their also removing GM's too but they have said this will be reviewed for a better way to implment it, least thats how i read it.
