I agree that currently the craft is quite repetitive and boring.

But so far Yoshida's team didnt made a big focus on it as they said, but improvements are coming I think.

Anyways, I'm afraid that many people wants to turn every single aspect of this game in something more casual, just because they get bored with grinds and they think that this grind is pointless and useless. But don't forget the game should try to target every kind of player, since the more casual ones untill the hardcore.

Just because you don't like something inside the game doesn't mean that others can't enjoy it. Of course, you can make your own suggestions about how to improve something if you think you have to, but the fact that you dont like a single aspect on the game doesn't mean that it was bad designed or wrong.

Besides this, crafting is an option, you don't have to craft if you don't want to as I don't fish because I found it extremely boring, but I can understand that someone enjoys it and thats fine with me.
