I found their crafting system even better that SWG's. Personal opinion, though. You should check out Pirates of the Burning Sea, then. I found their crafting system even better that SWG’s.

The complexity of it and the player driven economy because it was amazing. I have yet to see a game do crafting so well. The best crafting system to date in any MMO was Star Wars Galaxies.

It wasn't overly easy. You use to have to gather the raw materials, refine said materials, then use the refined stuff to actually make the parts for what you wanted, then finally you would combine the parts. At least that's what I think it use to be....it's been a while. It sounds really teadiuos, and frankly it is, but that's what real crafting it. I hear a lot of praise for VanGuard's crafting system as well, although it's been even longer and I don't really remember (not that I did much of it when I did play).

This is a topic that often comes up in my guild vent. Developers really struggle with this and it is understandable (hard to balance loot rewards with crafting rewards). At the moment WARs crafting is a bit of a joke and really lacks in depth. I have to say one of the coolest crafting concepts I've seen is the Horadriccube in Diablo II. However that eventually just became a big oven with an even bigger recipe book. I'm looking forward to see what Diablo III does with crafting. They have said they are not going to have a Hordaric cube but they have some nifty things in store. Regards, Erik von Darkmoor I agree with you on this.
