SWTOR has always viewed crafting as something as an afterthought.  The first time I heard Daniel Erikson describe the crew skills as things put into the game so you don't HAVE to gather nodes for yourself and do things you'd rather do in game, I groaned.  I LOVE crafting.  I love gathering/sorting/making gear for me and my guild.  I LOVE taking the time to put something together and make a really rare item that can only be gotten after spending 100's of thousands of credits and hours and hours of game time. 

To make a crafting system as an after thought in which some items "Proc" after destroying item after item into a higher level item is a joke.  Always has been.  Don't even get me started on being an Armstech.  This change doesn't surprise me one bit.  A single player game has no need for a deep rich crafting system.  SWTOR is a single player game that you can play with your friends.  Their mindset rings true.  Crafting is a necessary evil and they tell all their hard core crafters to pound sand with each passing change.  I've held to the faith for so long, but I am just about done.

 

 

Good thing BioWare is here to tell you how mistaken you are.  Crafting is obviously NOT heroic and NOT something you should be investing time in. ;)

 

Exactly ;)
