I agree that crafting in general in the old mmo's were quite bad though there were exceptions.
However, the point I'd like to make and that I believe is important, is that the idea that crafting and gathering is something everyone should do parale…
I'm not clinging to anything. I played plenty and I did so with an open mind and a proper evaluation and there's no need to be confused: F2P is MMORPG's for mindless consumers, not gamers.
Alas, like with any superficial product, the consuming dum…
Jennings is talking losely about one of the topics that players are most interested in.
Having a fun crafting system is good, but the key is the following and it's so simple you could cry:

1. The infantile definition: Ooh! Shiny! And they crammed so many blinking flashy effects in I can't hardly even see my kiddie faced porn armored polygon bomb! I think I'm gonna wet myself.
2. My definition: They…
