crafting is gone

What happened when we logged in for 5.0?

Our Byregot's Blessing was greyed out.

Our Steady Hand II was greyed out.

Our Name/Brand of [Earth/Fire/Ice/Lightning/Water/Wind] was greyed out.

But we still have those things, with the Name/Brands being consolidated into "of the Elements".

All that's being demonstrated in that screenshot is how much button bloat is getting removed. It's not showing us what our toolbars will look like once we've changed them to the new set of actions.

Looking at what is not greyed out give a few hints on things.

Inner Quiet, Great Strides, Basic Synthesis, Basic Touch, Standard Touch, Careful Synthesis, Observe, Master's Mend, and Precise Touch are not greyed out. Careful Synthesis has a CP cost like Careful Synthesis 3.

Looks like Basic/Standard/Advanced Synthesis have been merged into one action and Careful Synthesis I, II and III have been merged into one low CP action.

I'd like to see:
- Eliminate anything that does the same thing, but only to different degrees.
- Remove cross-class skills. and recipe requirements entirely. If I'm doing ARM stuff, I shouldn't need WVR products, unless I can buy only what I need from the MB, not a stack of 99, only to use 5, then resell the rest at a loss.
- Drop all crystal variants, or just reduce it to one.
- And, no demimateria. It's enough work just to level the crafts, and not have to do it for this again.
