Crafting needs to be fun or needs to be automated.

I'm just saying they know what we want. Why is everyone so f'ing cynical and hysteric? Can't you just understand that the current system they're working with is shit and they're doing the best they can to make this version better with a concomitant aim of creating the next version?

If crafting were not a grind and a time-sink, then everyone would just go into crafting and we wouldn't even need an AH. I actually like the current mini-game, but I can get how people don't like it and find Yoshi-P's solution suitable.

But, of course, let's all just incessantly bitch about shit that has been addressed.

So addressing a problem is as easy as saying, "Wait until 2.0" You'll have to excuse me for my pessimism, but I've heard that line in every MMO I've played. I've been playing and secretly rooting for this game for over a year, but my patience has worn thin.

When I bitched about issues in beta or early release I got the same damn response -- "Just give them some more time" was the mantra of the community, and SE "asks for your continued patience" while they fix it which will be "soon." And now the community is telling people with gripes that it's been addressed, but it won't actually be addressed until 2013. Are you f'kin kidding me?

No, I'm not f apostrophe kin kidding you. Every MMO you've played has had a 2.0 released after a horrible launch and a development team change? Is this the only MMO you've played?

The director himself said that. That is good enough for me to know that something will be done.
