help with crafting..

That is SO naive and ignorant.. Wow, if they catered the game to players like you, who would they have? No one. Seriously, if the MAJORITY of players find a certain aspect (a very LARGE aspect mind you) of the game to be boring, they should probably make it more F**KING interesting. Not everyone would rather spend time mindlessly pressing enter than doing something productive or, god forbid, FUN with their time?

Reducing xp needed to gain crafting levels =/= more interesting crafting. Nor would it satisfy anyone who wants it unless it was drastic to the point of stupidity so they wouldn't have to sit there and grind on a craft. That's what this comes down to. Instant gratification.

Also, don't come here talking about demographics. You have absolutely nothing at all to back up any of your assertions other than your belief that you fall within some sort of majority. A believe most people have, regardless of what is the reality.

Additionally, just because you want something doesn't make it right. Even if a whole bunch of other people also want what you want. Since we are pointing fingers and slinging insults here, the problem with people like you and the ironically named charismatic over there is that you aren't able to see past your own nose to know when something is not good for the entirety of the situation. You only care about the immediate impact it has on you.

I don't even care about the actual XP required to level crafting. That's not what bothers me. What bothers me is that the entirety of the crafting experience is composed of hitting enter and occasionally up. Monotony isn't exactly engaging. And, yes, there is some middle ground somewhere between the current state of things and one in which everyone instantly levels to 50. I'm not sure what that middle ground is. I'm not sure anyone knows, even. I do know, however, that expressing displeasure with the current state of affairs is more likely to inspire SE to try something different.

That's fine and I even agree with you regarding the process. Crafting is monotonous, no doubt about it.
