I'm not saying that crafting is bad, but when they introduced crafting, this game went to -blam!-. Back in D1, grinding was the name of the game. Getting the roll you wanted was one of the much anticipated moments. With crafting, that anticipation is gone. Everyone now just expects things to be craft-able. Everything has a price. Crafting comes with its own downsides. Yes, it makes it easy to get the roll you want. But at the same time, once you get it, you start getting bored and complain that there isn't much to do anymore or that this game is way too easy. All I'm saying is, take the good with the bad.
