4.05 crafting disappointment

[Millen1]

As a crafter since the start of ARR release, crafting was hard then for the book turn ins and crafting in general. I do like the direction they took it to allow more players into crafting. Even with it being easier for those of use doing it forever, I still have friends I help teach crafting too and it takes time. As for the macros, yeah it wasn't too hard to do that. My only let down in crafting is that there is no AF crafted crafting or gathering gear as in ARR or the sets in HW for crafters. Having the same gear is a little lame though it does save gil on melds only having one set. Still very lame. The battle gear is re used, fine, was going to glamour over it and I would guess that is why SE re uses so much. I know very few players that stick with the actual look of the gear anyways.

Edit: as a side note, the specialist locked gear being gone was very nice. I had another char and alt to get around that stupid system and at least I don't have to level them. I hope the system stays as is and this locked for a patch doesn't come back up.
