Perfect. Finally I'll be able to just produce my clothing without the necessity to spend days hoarding shiploads of intermediary materials, manuals, dyes and crafts. I can see that this may piss off a few dedicated craft(bott)ers, but at the current state of the game, and considering the low appeal of an overly complicated crafting system for newcomers, this was definitely the right thing to do.

Yoshis current direction is clear: make the game accessible for a larger audience. Even if it hurts (or even drives out) players who spent the better part of the past year sitting in a corner in the Uldah wards spamming standard synthesis.
