o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

[Oscillate_Wildly]

No, Nix on effort since people don't seem to understand the broad spectrum of what counts as 'effort'. Or might be misunderstanding other crafters with their lack of empathy.

Let's call it instead, patience. Your willingness to endure the fact that making certain pieces of gear might take longer than 5 seconds.
One of the difficulties of crafting was that certain parts might be higher level to make, than the whole itself. Take velveteen sleeves I believe? Some cloth parts, were able to make a 5 ranks lower than the rank it was to make the parts for THAT part.

Ok, so what they should have done there was make it easier to create the parts (Cloth, thread) and made it more difficult to make the next set of parts (Tunic backs, sleeves, socks).
But no, who knows.
Basically it's a little too much too soon.
I'd mention how peeved I am they're getting rid of crafting stations, but no one wants to hear it. I'm getting kind of sick of these half assed choices, and it's turning me into a QQing player.
But carry on blindly following every change until it royally screws you over. I think you could all use a little disappointment in your lives, clearly. :U
