What bothers you most about the current synthesis system?

[Biggs]

this right here is the main point in most stuff people bring up here

most if not all other mmos, for the most part, are point and click auto crafting, you dont really do anything

14 did something unique in giving it its own job


so anyone comparing it to the fun of other games is really just saying they want an auto crafting system usualy cuz they dont like spending actual time doing it

Yeah, I definitly don't want auto-craft. That isn't a system then, its just a feature. I would be good with them doing away with the time bar while crafting and adding some better animations besides throwing my arms out while working on a hovering orb that changes color.

Part of the other problem with it of course is the total lack of economy in the game right now due to low population numbers on certain servers and the generally high level of the population. If items were selling like crazy and there was gil to be had and real competition, I think that would at least give the current system more purpose.
