Does Anyone Think Crafting is Too Slow?

You direct quoted Physic, who was direct quoting me, therefore including myself in the reference to "they".

i do apologize. i went back and looked at my post and can see where you thought i was referring to you. that was not my intention. i was talking about in general. we all have many major complaints about this game. we may not agree on issues, but can agree things need to be done. i just do not want more knee jerk reactions without thinking the final completion through first. yes, changes are needed, but we can't even agree on the direction to fix it and have no idea what they have planned already as far as future content.

most of our suggestions at this point are all looking short term because we don't even know which direction the game in general is going. with the new group in charge if we told them we want major changes they could make it to taking out your needle and throwing rocks at dodo's to rank up. we have to be careful when we say we do want drastic changes because we have no clue of what drastic changes are to them(auto-attack for example). i voted for drastic change last poll, but had i known what they meant by drastic changes i have seen so far i would have voted no to most of them on a change by change basis.

No, they won't because that's obviously retarded.

i used that because it was so far out there just to prove a point. what i was saying is that if they wanted to make changes they should give options of the changes they have in mind to implement and allow the polls to dictate the direction. they should also have leave it as is as one of the options.

example: we are thinking of implementing changes to the crafting system which would you prefer?
1. change in sp/exp gained per synth.
2. a minigame where you complete the synth as is and have a small side game after finished products for hq'ing the item.
3. speed up the animations for crafting.
4. use a rock to attack a dodo
5. keep crafting the way it is

if you choose 5 would you want crafting to change in a different method or for it to stay as is?

i just feel this line of questioning would get a better feel for what the players want over the vagued question "do you want changes to be made to the crafting system?"

granted my other ideas besides the obvious ones were just stupid thrown out ideas, but it would let us see what lines of thinking the development team is considering taking the game before we say yes to whatever they do. i may want changes, but may prefer the system as is to the systems they would replace it with.
