Not thrilled about Crafting changes…

Skill to craft? Hahahahah
Yea, hit the enter button nonstop. That requires some major skill.
The shorter the process the better.

The shorter the process the shorter the exp, then it is alright

Right, which is my point. Grinding out recipes is dull as it is. I like the challenge of having to balance progress & quality, just not when I'm leveling >_<

The main reason I enjoy crafting is because I like feeling useful and being able to make stuff. The mini-game (and the horrible music that accompanies it) just starts to get on my nerves after a while. I like the level of depth and control when it comes to trying to make quality goods, but for straight up grinding EXP I liked XI better lol, if only for the speed.

It's really not hard to finish a synth successfully now, even for recipes 10 levels higher. But the game can be such a complete utter troll at the worst times when trying to raise quality and all it does is piss me off. Twice last night I came close to +1'ing my new Steel Cross-pein hammer only for the game to just randomly go "nope, fuck you". Gotta love it when you're just 1 standard away from finishing, and then the next action fails, screwing you over by 1% for seemingly no reason as every other synth has gone smoothly.

@_@ I swear I seen ppl fail HQ at 90%+ chance...
