help with crafting..

[Cycloptichorn]

I'm at r35 armorer, and it's not so bad, but does take a long time. I just do it when I normally would be watching a movie or tv anyway,

I don't really have a problem with that though, b/c unlike other games, in MMO's you keep your skills for a long, long, long time. Once you hit top rank, you're able to crank out the best items in the game for what, a year, till they raise the level cap? That's supposed to be a really difficult level to reach.

The problem with turning it into a more skillful minigame, is that it's really difficult to make ones that are difficult enough to stop people who are good at those games from just owning them, and still fun at the same time.

As a side question, I had thought that sub-craft requirements were done away with in the latest patch; is this not true? I have some stuff which I'm still getting a 'your leatherworking isn't high enough...' for.
