I did strangely enjoy the 1.0 crafting, when you had to craft a piece of armor and it required so many different parts to complete (shoulders, sleeves, etc). I thought if they kept the complexity of this system, with a faster ui and process I really would have enjoyed it. Although not sure it would please many others.
Perhaps the most frustrating part of the original crafting system was that many items required component parts that had to be made by a *higher-level* crafter, leaving most of us wondering, "How do we get there from here?" Not to mention that almost nothing could be made without parts from other crafts. Because *nothing* was available from vendors. And finding anything in the "market system" of the time was impossible. People's retainers were spread out in a special area. You had to look at them one by one. Wanted a specific item? Had to keep looking at retainers until you found it. No search function...
