I've said this once already. In Goonzu, the crafting is click + wait but they add a mini-game that is a rip-off of Bejeweled, and if you score high on that mini-game your crafting end result get more bonus. First hour it's fun, and after that most people simply don't care about that mini-game any more. The same developers went on to make another MMO, Atlantica Online, and they just scrap the mini-game.

And don't let me get on about "crafting" in Puzzle Quest or PQ: Galactrix mining mini-game. I hate them, they feel more like grinding than MMO grinding.
