Not thrilled about Crafting changes…

[Jeronlmo]

People hate crafting and anything thats not 100% fun 100% of the time anymore, they treat gaming like you would facebook/farmville, its a social network to them, if its not fun, scrap it. The idea of hard work and accomplishment doesnt even click for them.
Sooner or later it will turn into gw2 or wow, and because you said you have no exp in wow I will inform you, you can burn a craft to cap in hours by just auto-crafting everything. You literally click the go button on an item and it will craft that 1 item almost instantly until you run out of mats in your inv. Crafting in wow is nearly worthless, the only reason people craft is because of the ability to gem your gear, if you do tailoring, you can gem cloth-type gear (aka priest gear), the crafting itself to make things is nearly worthless.

I would hope a game can be both fun and hard work. I already have a job so I don't want to go home and do more hard work without the pay. I quite like the crafting as it is now but there is always room for improvement.

With all due respect, people play video games for fun, not to have another job. What is the point in doing something for recreation when it's not fun? I can't speak for others, but I have no interest purposefully wasting my free time doing something that isn't fun. That's just idiotic. I would also point out that just because something is fun, doesn't mean it's easy, or lacking in complexity. The crafting system we got at the beginning was needlessly complex without being fun. That is just poor game design, no matter how you look at it.
