GROZLAM'S PROFILE

I like crafting as a means to affect the economy in an MMO (ie, as a way to gate some good, tradeable items behind a time/resource barrier), but in terms of actually doing the crafting myself, I usually don't enjoy doing it.

For single player games, the only thing off the top of my head I really liked crafting in was Stardew Valley, and that's because the entire game is about maximizing your efficiency (if you're into that) and that was a means to do so. Aside from that, the only examples that are coming to mind were basically pace-killing grinds. That isn't to say I didn't do them, but eh.

Back to MMOs, I think to a degree Everquest 2 did it well with the problems arising that had different skills you could use to counter them. If the overall pace was faster (both for problems to solve and the overall craft time per item), that would've been great, but again, with MMOs you have an economy to worry about, so you kind of have to gate these items behind something.

Hey, thanks very much for playing through the whole thing and leaving a review! Glad you enjoyed it, and I'll look into fixing that crash.
