Dude...you have a very weird idea about what dumbing down means. Do you think cars are dumbing dumb because people should have to walk everywhere they need to go? I mean, not having a vehicle sure would present you with some "interesting decisions".

Dumbing down != removing asinine annoyances from the game.

Let me give you and example of dumbing down.

The current crafting system has a system of durability, progress, quality. Your ability to craft is affected by your stats (craftsmanship, control, CP, etc...) Then there is also the changing item condition that affects quality gains. You have to be very careful and use your skills wisely in order get the highest possible HQ chance.

An example of how this could be dumbed down would resemble the WoW crafting system. Gather the materials, hit craft button. Voila, there's your crafted item.

I know you're going to reply back about how I'm a casual who just isn't hardcore enough to understand how moving items around on my retainer is so very important and makes crafting fun...but I just thought I'd give my 2cp.
