Odd Crafting-Style / "Game-Layer" from the AMA: Will Crafting be Arcade/Twitch?

My suggestion is a bit too involved but if I distill it down...

If the game has deconstruction, and you can learn anything from it, then I feel the minigame should be on the deconstruction.

You could still gain levels. You could make something and then deconstruct it. You could put the RNG on the Deconstruction/Tweak/Study without most people crying about it I think?

A bot or a person who is crafting too much won't end up with an oversaturation of product as easily. We would also be able to get a lot 'more' levels out of high level gear without causing this problem. You're literally burning money (or rather, throwing it back into the economy) and depending on how long you do it, taking items OUT of the economy for this.

You could have progress bar advancement for Recipes of 'a weapon or gear piece that was found', so that the Crafter wants to deconstruct it.

Of course, none of this applies to things like Processing anyway, but I don't think people are as stressed about 'RNG quality' for cake/pie.

Overenchantment can destroy your items and the mats required to prevent item decay will prevent the gear from being super abundant. If anything, I'd assume Ashes will have waaay less gear than your general instanced BoE/P mmos.

There is a chance that people will whine loud enough that Intrepid removes the "destroys" part. It is already vague, judging by Steven's explanation, and majority of people COMPLAINED big time the last time item destruction was mentioned.

I would complain in an even larger font but that would require making one of those Image based character sets like kidnapping ransom notes in old movies if I didn't want to risk breaking the Forum's Markup Language.
