whats the point of crafting...

[Xel]

It would be cool if blacksmiths could provide temporary weapon buffs, armorsmiths temp defense buffs, cooks perm stat increases until death, leatherworkers perm improvements to leather armor stats until death, weavers perm improvements to cloth armor until death, goldsmith perm improvements on jewelry until death, carpenters well those bastards will get housing so screw them(j'king j'king) they can get the creation of wooden token stands that grant buffs in a temp circle around them, alchemists well there are so many ways improve the damn pots/shorten cd's/create poison bottles/create explosives/create the reagents that all the other classes would need and on and on and on.

Of course you'd need to tune monsters to be able to handle buffed out teams, put in new drops, buff dungeons, create new quests for all this, and in general have the devs do a ton more work on their already extensive workload. *sniffle*
