My experience in MMOs is very limited.

I played XI for a very long time. I transitioned from XI to XIV. In between, I tried a few others but never made it to a point where crafting was a concern.

I'm curious what those who have played other MMOs think of SE's method of leveling crafts by spamming the same recipes over and over.

Is this how other games do it? Do other games make it harder? Easier?

I'm not saying we shouldn't have to work for our exp. But it seems to me like they should prioritize the random leves situation and give us a more dependable way to level crafts rather than having to farm materials longer than it takes to process them.

I do thin being able to see our progress is a major step up from XI's random 0.1s.

As my sig may show, I'm just not a fan of repeating the same recipe for hours. Just seems odd to me that it's been a year and there's nary a mention of any changes.
