Our LS has a lot of high level crafters. Some of them actually enjoy crafting more than battles.

For example, one of my very good friends will drop out of leveling parties if he gets a /tell asking for an item to be crafted.

I am not that extreme, but I have weaving to R47 and I can tell you that one of my greatest pleasures is being able to present someone with an item that they want.

And part of that joy comes from the process of making the item. I feel that I have actually accomplished something valuable as a crafter.

Square is considering taking much of that satisfaction away from people like me who actually enjoy the intricacies of the current crafting system.
