The best part of all this grind, is that any mercenary will most likely profit tens of times more than any mastercrafter with half the effort and 10 times less time consumption. GG Square-Enix.

At 2.0 i was fascinated how crafting was, till about the 2.4 patch, where suddenly everything was just sluggish grindy, and now this? enough is enough i say. Im making anywhere between 3-5 mill a week with just what i have and i will not keep going into this grind. I put more effort and time than any raider and get tons less payback, any crafter deserves much, much more than this.

And as a solution to the omni-crafting, this is ridiculous, you are only making it worse, any new crafter, or casual crafter, even some mastercrafters will look at this and say "lol nope, i have a life". Leaving as always, just the very very richest and most most dedicated crafters, lets say, about 10 to 15 per server? to take long, but without doubt still be omnicrafters (cause specializations are lol useless) to run the economy of the whole server. Crafting is, right now, the most grindy piece of content of the game, and the reward, is not even close to the time investment for it.

Good job SE, your attemps to kill omni-crafting killed just the crafting part. Omni-crafters will continue, they just, will be fewer and richer.
