new feature where you can create your own list of how much you want to craft/gather

[Saraide]

Shopping list / recipe calculator websites with extensive, robust, and intuitive features exist outside the game and I don't trust the UI team to come up with an in-game solution that is even half as good as what's already available.

I agree, they would either straight up copy what already exists or they would have to retread a well explored path of innovations. Time that could be spent on more productive ideas.
