crafting is gone

Tbf those procs might not actually "gate out" casuals from those hardcore recipes. Yes, you can't make a fully automatic macro to deal with the procs. But there's nothing stopping people from executing steps from the macro manually, with guidelines on how to deal with the procs.

And I doubt they'll implement an extra system on top of the main one, complicated enough to only allow the most committed to handle it. You already had the limitations in the Ixali quests and they ended up discarding that. That would be imo the path to making certain crafts harder: random debuffs that would require people to adapt their actions, not just follow a script that wouldn't work anyway because you had less CP than usual or no access to certain abilities.

Huh? The point isn’t to “gate out” casuals, it’s to give hardcore players something fun to do, and hopefully, get rewarded for. That’s really it lol. If casuals want to try their hand at the upcoming difficult rng recipes, I sure welcome them to try. They might like it.

Also, sorry, but macro’ing something so complicated just sounds impossible or, completely inefficient and inconvenient. I know people want access to everything crafting related, but he’s made it pretty clear you can’t macro these upcoming recipes. I don’t think macros will “save the day” this time like you hope it will.
