Same goes for the recipes IMO.

When i played FFXI i did print em out, it was cool
Now i am rather annoyed. It's not that they are hard to figure out, you also get told the recipes every time you complete leve quests but SE honestly can not expect me to write em down? or remember them?
There should be some option to look them up. Not talking about the crafting history (very useful) but about having a list of all learned recipes.
You cant design games having in mind that some fans will eventually create a database...

There are sites with crafting database, its cool and handy but it takes away from the game a bit IMO.
In a ideal world it would be nice if people would ask around for the recipes ingame, share info and so on... and some do it but by far not all.
