They do not exsist.

FFXIV is the only MMO that is actually trying to turn crafting into a Part of the game and not just a list you click on. When your the first one to put any real effort in to something, it takes time to fine tune it.

No one in this forum can say that crafting is moving in the wrong direction. You would lose all credibility.

It is now faster, simpler, and more engaging. How many Patches did it take to fix the combat system? 8?
theres also the fact that some people who think that puzzles would be "funner" dont take into account they will also be more tedious and annoying and will probly turn more people off to crafting then onto it

this isnt puzzle pirates, the crafting needs to be simple, if that makes it boring to some people so be in, there is no way to win everyone over anyway as some people will hate it regardless
