There is no need for crafting to have 3 stats, same goes for gathering.

So we would just have craftmanship, gathering and then the stats which effect your class such as (VIT,MND,PIE,INT,STR,DEX)

It's a typical example of SE making things more complex than they should be, I'm sure I will meet some resistance from suggesting this, seeing as the community hates change.
I wouldn't mind if they consolidated craftsmanship and mg. craftsmanship into a single stat, but moving to a single stat unique to crafting seems to be a little overkill. It would also be nice if the game just told you which recipe uses which stat, but as is the case for much of the game, a new player is just given the means and told to figure it out for themselves. What actually happens is wasted time browsing the internet trying to find basic information that should be given to players in the first place.
