    I do think crafting should be harder though, everyone just macroing everything is really lame and makes it so one of the more unique things about this game may as well not exist.
    Good for leveling? I got bad news for you lol ANYBODY leveling now just uses Firmament because it's overly absurd when it comes to giving out EXP to level. And from 80-90 you can easily spam Leve turn ins or craft like Ingots and get those 10 levels.

    But something needs to be done. Like I said any randomness in the crafts (like Experts) would make these third party bots not be able to stay on 24/7 flooding aspects of the game and most importantly on top of that would breathe new life into making Crafting fun again

    No thank you. The hidden issue with this is I don't want to spend seventeen hours crafting things I have proven time and again able to craft. The whole system is a bit silly anyways. Sure, the minigame is fun, but it's ultimately a puzzle. What's wrong with a puzzle? Well, the thing is when you solve it, you're done. So just spam the answer. If I have to essentially show my work for the same answer over and over, I think you can see why that would grow aggravating. This is incidentally why other games often don't go for this angle except for maybe one that I know of. And that one's dead.

    Sure, I agree crafting is too easy and I wish there was a way to deal with it, but if asking me to turn a 30s craft into a 2 minute craft per when I have to make an entire stack is the answer? Get another one. Honestly, I'd sooner vote for nuking the Firmament, but that's neither here nor there.

    Getting HQ at low level without using good condition is difficult, and getting good leve turn ins requires HQ, so....
