They made crafting a lil less involved sure, I mean post 1.19 i press carefulway more often then I could before, maybe because of the stats changes. That's what I mostly believe. But crafting still has risk, the literal risk of each action during the synth is still there, and if you accumulate too much risk your craft will start failing, so lets say you hit 50% complete and risk is high your next 5 standards could completely fail. Risk isn't given to us, and you still have to figure it out. So if your a fake ass crafter who hits standards all the time, you won't be the same person probably crafting our epic pieces later, just sayin, you'll botch every piece, you aren't used to risk.
