The only thing I see making crafts more fun is make them how Free reals does it. But still, it is easy because you almost never fail. We need to fail synths (and it needs to be random is in life stuff is random) I think the crafting system is fun, and if you don't like it you got 2 options 1 stop over thinking on if you having fun or not. or 2 just don't do it. ffxiv was praised for the crafting system. it can be like WoW, fast automatic rarely failing..... aka easy mode......
