The crafting community has really become a joke since 4.0 started, and 5.1 just made it worse.



Although I agree with you, a game’s community is represented by its developers efforts. If a community behaves a certain way, it’s mostly due to its developers and actions taken. For example, second life has a toxic community, and that is because the developers and GMs there are toxic themselves. (I would know, as I have actually met a second life developer in person. They were quite rude.) Anyways, I’m not a fan of Yoshida at all, and hopefully the next mmo has nothing to do with him. Otherwise, the community will more or less be the same, with the same low-effort game mechanics. The whole “our creator can do no wrong” brain washing-type community is something you can’t do anything about. I would recommend playing a different game, that’s what I’m doing, just kind of playing until my sub runs out. Wake me up when a better, less casual-bias director , creates a new mmo...
Pantheon rise of the fallen, hardcore mmo that is in the works. When I say hardcore I mean hardcore you wont be doing anything by your lonesome or easily. Crafting will be a community thing so you want to be wealthy be ready to dedicate your game time to getting there. Want to raid..well better plan to spend 4-5 hours a couple days out of the week or you wont be raiding. Grouping will be the name of the game and soloing will be few and far between.
