Other people enjoying it?

Look at this forum. Go merely 4 topics down from this one and the last post on it is over 3 weeks old. The 5th topic on the front page. This is after they handed crafting over to the entire casual player-base and tried to include everyone. Where's the interest? Where are the hundreds of new crafters with questions and feedback and discussion on the new abilities and things they made and rotations?

Great you're enjoying it, but it's dead. It's just fact.
I see plenty of people crafting in the 3 towns in-game.

The forums is only a very small sample size of the game, and it tended to be the vocal minority who would frequent the forums the most. Just because the forums have gotten a bit more quiet, doesn't mean crafting is "dead", in fact, it seems very much alive. At least... maybe not the hardest of the hardcore endgame crafting, but then.... *shrug* Maybe that's a good thing?

Crafting should not be for the 1% of the playerbase. Or not even the 10%. The way crafting was before, it was just too much of a chore for so little return unless you went all the way which took more time than raiding, which was a bit ridiculous.
