and people can raise their craft and repair it themselves if they so desire.
this is probably the most funny part, because, yes they will XD
so far those ppl that didn't mind crafting where those that were annoyed by the endless steps it takes to produce a level 10 piece of equipment, or to rank up.
with 1.19 more ppl will find intereset in crafting, so it's a good thing in the end that SE did change it, no?

it's not about that you like it because it feels real, and hard.
it's about that everyone can enjoy it equally, and i know for sure alot of people wouldn't touch a crafting class other then by using a bot =P
