Does Anyone Think Crafting is Too Slow?

[Abriael]

Crafting is as "slow" as it needs to avoid overcrowding of the market. To people that normally enjoy crafting, this system is one of the best in the MMO genre and involves some very clever pieces like the interdipendent skills.

The fact is simple, crafting is not for everyone, and *should not* be for everyone. If everyone crafts, there won't be a market. It's that simple.

if you want to craft quickly, there is a solution for you: It's called Hasty Hand.

It allows you to "all or nothing" every craft completely skipping the minigame at the expense of a lower SP rate (about half). Of course, if you have enough money for materials (and every self-respecting crafter should have tons), this still means that you're going to skillup MUCH faster than by doing it the normal way, considering that you get half the SP in 1/10 of the time.
Funny that most people that bash crafting in this game don't even know what it does, even more funny since you get it as early as level 15, but after all criticizing what one doesn't even know is a common occurrence in this game.

That must be why as a level 36 armorer I can easily turn an abundant profit (hell, I can even as a level 25 Leather, mind you)?

Level 50 crafters make level 50 stuff. They have no reason to make lower level equipment that sells for less. With the fact that this game encourages leveling up multiple classes there is and there always will be demand for lower level equipment.
If you think that "the economy is dead" or one sided, then you simply lack the ability to assess what sells and what doesn't, which is a requisite to thriving in any economy. Probably crafting isn't for you.

Anyway, the fact still stands. Want to craft faster? you can. You only need to know your basic abilities. Playing the game instead of the forums might help in that.

Except it only helps yourself at this point. The people here are are legitimately trying to make the game better so that it doesn't die off anytime soon because players interested in the game may look online and like what the battle system becomes one day, only to find they spend 95% of their time walking through copy pasta environments and spamming Standard Synth all day.

It's just poorly designed and slow, and telling us to grit our teeth through it (which I believe anyone could) doesn't make the design itself any better.
