    Minor crafting animation suggestion.

    The eyes. It's just a little disconcerting, seeing my character staring wide eyed while crafting, instead of, like, squinting in concentration or something. There's eye animations for other emotes, and I was just wondering if we could get something like this for crafting? Again, nothing big, and definitely not important, but I'd still like to throw this out there.

    I just wish they would allow /emotes while crafting period.

    or show a little emotion. It's the same deadpan face from start to finish. It's a real shame that the have such expressive faces throughout the game yet crafting is such a lifeless process!

    C'mon, lets have consternation on their face as the focus real hard. maybe even some tongues sticking out as they focus for a silly factor. (Lalafell anyone? lol)

    And when there is a success you see an expression of glee on their face!
    HQ1 could be just what it is. HQ2 you you hear a holler and even more excitment. and HQ3 you see your character stand up and jump in the air to hoot and holler! lol

    Failures can be done by shaking of the head. There are various degrees of failures as well. So we go from shaking of the head, to pouting and audible sigh to Anger and frustration at the really big failures.

    I'd like to see a little bit of fright to when the synthesis goes south and becomes instable. A worried look and a bit of fretting as they try to pull it off!

    That would make a far more interesting and .... well quite honestly less boring crafting session!
