Crafting timer?

[AlexiaKidd]

Is there any point to having the timer when crafting? I am not sure if I am missing it's purpose here but I can't see what it actually does other than make you rush messages to friends.

If it is was removed would there be a huge downside that I am not seeing?

Good point O.o I mean i just talk in between syths if I need to, but I really can not see a downside of taking off timer during syths. What if your stomach goes *GRAHHHHHH* from the bad tacos you ate at a nearby Mexican restaurant in the middle of a syth that is important and the bathroom calls. I would like to not avoid my system just to finish a craft, but I also do not want to lose the mats! O.o

This has been my single biggest complaint about crafting. You are basically locked into the synthesis for the next minute or two. Eliminating the timer or even adding a pause button would make replying to tells or handling real life emergencies so much easier.

Would be really nice, I can't recall how many times I've smelt food burning and just started a synth, or someone at the door or bathroom emergency ... >.>

That 1min feels so very long

I agree, its very frustrating, i thought at first it was like timer to make you act fast on what you pick, but its not that as i use like 2 skills, and they dont pop up often, i never use rapid or bold so its "Standard>Standard>" constantly until skill pops up, takes me like 1 second of choice, so the whole time element is completely redudent and useless, just there to annoy you.
