I mean, let's face it.

Crafting recipes have been gutted down to basics. Everyone is level 50 everything and if not they will be in a couple weeks.

There is really no point in trying to champion the crafting cause anymore.

He's dead, Jim.
Crafting recipes being simplified is probably one of the best changes this game has made since the 1.0 launch. I'm sorry but to make 1 item, you needed like 5 different crafts at various levels if you wanted to get all the ingredients. Then for example to make a robe, there's 4 different parts to it, each requiring different levels of expertise often in multiple crafts. Quite often the finished product could be made at a lower level than the actual parts. And it took eons to level. It might sound great for someone who has actually invested that kind of time and all, but face it. When new people are coming to the game for them to face such daunting obstacles to crafting is not a good idea. It would have turned people off to crafting.

I like how it is now. I don't want it to become a WoW/LotrO/SWTOR style thing where its 1 click crafting. But the old style was so much worse. And I haven't seen any indication that out current system is being replaced. Its just becoming more user friendly.
