Do you feel xp gap should shorten for DoH?

30-50k an hour, and getting less means they are doing lower level stuff

its not slow, its really just tedious work because its not as exciting as combat

There's your problem =/. 30-50k isn't a universal truth for crafting growth either, perhaps for you, but considering that most people can't stand to even craft for hours in a row I doubt that speed will draw anyone closer =(.

Right now crafting is more of an obstacle than anything close to fun. Pressing standard synth gets tedious and the only fun synths come from when something like aeolian scimitars/silver tricornes/etc (aka the synths that really count) are made.

You have a community to ask for help. They spent those countless hours leveling up their crafts, I'm sure they wouldn't mind putting themselves to good use.

I see what you mean and I agree but ironically the highlighted sentence seems to only prove the point. Additionally, the community is scarce and having to simply rely on others all the time is cumbersome and something short of being on hand quickly when you need it.

Being able to manage your own crafts with ease is (but not too much ease) is preferable =)
