i'll say i don't believe any higher percentage of people hates crafting than they do tanking, main healing, support brd, or gathering on a 1-1 basis. each aspect of the game will have a small percentage of people that wants to do so and that's how it should be.

the game should never be to where everyone likes one aspect of the game and wants to main at it because then the rest of the aspects are wasted development time.
