These two types of crafting are done very differently but, with the change to touch ups, all crafts will be done like Hqing mats "you focus on getting as much quality as possible without getting 0 durability." This takes out an entire style to crafting. This is the simplification.
You are 100% correct, it removes the skill out of crafting. Instead of focusing on trying to maintain quality and durability, your only focus is use HQ materials.. and spam standard so you are given 50% chance. If you use NQ items.. dont waste your time trying to get that 10% chance of HQ... your better off farming hq materials. This is a major step backwards for the crafting system.
