When you fail because of things outside of your control, that isn't fun or difficult. It's just tedious.

If they wanted to change the crafting system up and actually add real skill to it that doesn't rely on a random number generator, that's fine. But forcing good crafters to fail because of bad luck isn't. Theres no sense of accomplishment there.
This. This is the point I've been trying to make the entire time. The stuff above it too, but I try to keep my quotes somewhat under control.
