What if Crafting were actually hard?

[TheVedis]

Less people wouldn't mind crafting if 1) it was more interesting like you suggested and 2) The XP rate wasn't relatively abysmal later on.

2 was fixed with the addtion of 51+ recipes in 1.19

and 1 is pretty much imposible to fix unless you make it more annoying at the same time in the process

Yep, most of the recipes added over level 50 seem to be level 53, thus giving a decent boost to those last few grinds; however, the mats for almost all of those recipes are either insanely expensive or time-consuming to obtain. Note that i'm not saying they shouldn't be, just that i'd much rather grind out leves than farm karakul fleece for days on end to have enough to grind out felt recipes to 50. (As an example, LW is just as bad)
