Players can raise their crafting level with some serious grinding, so I think this balances out the death penalty
So disheartening for the producer of the game to acknowledge crafting as serious grinding. I am rank 41 weaver been playing since release. Rank 40 Pug. I have spent much more time with Weaver. So grindy, I have a hard time sitting there doing the same synth over and over with pretty much standard option spamming. They made auto attack for battles they should make auto standard for crafting.
