I understand your concern OP. I am a bit worried as to what is going to happen with crafting as well. I enjoy crafting and understand its much more than just pressing enter over and over. Knowing when and how to use the right abilities, understanding the colors, calculating how much durability you have vs. your progress...Its much more complex and can be much more rewarding than many people realize.

I have high hopes the new system will be as good if not better than the current system we have now. I do not think SE would forget about the people who love crafting. ^^
