Crafting needs to be fun or needs to be automated.

Problem is nothing is gonna be fun for very long.. they change the mini game then we get bored 1 month after its released.

So crafting should be auto.

Not if it's actually thought out and skill plays a part in the outcome.

Like level 1-10 for blacksmithing the mini-game could be hammering metal. Then 10-15 they add in another step like cooling it down, 15-20 add another step onto it. Leveling up would add more steps to the mini-game giving you more control over how well the item turns out as well as keeping it fresh.

I don't hear anyone making this argument about combat, not sure why it would have to be true of synthesis. There is nothing inherent about crafting that will make it boring regardless of system.
