Making any sort of involved mini-game will by far annoy me more over our current crafting system. Like others, I, too, enjoy crafting in this game. To Avraym, my greatest piece of enjoyment is thatI feel like I have a level of control over it. The only annoyance inherent in the system is the time it takes to complete a synthesis, which falls mostly on the time it takes to carry out each action. That they're removing the timer is a huge plus, as it currently necessitates typing in-between commands to be quickfire.

Making crafting easier would make it appealing to mostly everyone. This is counter any sort of wish to build a community. If everyone makes their own stuff, why even have a market ward?

Gathering itself I've always found legitimately fun. I don't even play movies in the background while gathering. I see no need to change it.
