i don't understand why do you say that there is skills in 1.0 it's only boring , when you need to gather items you can never know what item you will get ,you can only select the best chances to have the item you want but you are not sure , here it's the same system but with less Random and they remove the boring mini game .
For crafting it's the same but now you can craft the number of items that you want in one time .

I have been quite surprise to see how they kept the ancient system and improved it to make it less boring .
Also we don't know what if you want to craft 100 items and the craft fail at 90 % ? we get no item ? 90 ? 45 ?
