Crafting is fun!

[Silverbane]

The fact that it can affect someone, anyone at any time makes it a problem. This is something the developers could fix in a matter of hours.

Now you're just making things up, it seems. MMO databases are complex and tricksy. Either you are unaware of this fact, or you are ignoring it (and hoping your readers do as well) because it is inconvenient. Either way, your statement is not credible.

You entertain the conceit that since you don't like crafting, it is "boring", "frustrating," "bad." My wife and I are enjoying it, and that trumps your conceits.

That said: SE has metrics. They know (or can know) who is running favor nodes and how often. They know who is crafting, what they are crafting, and how often they DC when crafting. They'll figure out from those metrics what's working and what needs adjusting or fixing. They don't need your advice, especially given your apparent ignorance of MMO coding realities.
