They've not said yes and they've not said no. But they have stressed that you can't progress through the game by just sitting around and crafting its main focus is on fighting. What this means for crafters? I have no clue but they did say once if they do crafting the items wouldn't be useless garbage. *it was in an interviwe ages ago somewhere on this site and it was a brief like two sentences remark*
Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!
There will be crafting but it wont be very creative and the best gear will be obtained from PvP
However not alot of info was released so no one really nows.
But i'm pretty shure that wont be one of the main features
They have never said that the best gear comes from pvp they said the absolute best / rare gear comes from RvR (not PvP) which is endgame.
Infact they've never formally said anything about Gear if you want to post your opinions / speculation then atleast state otherwise people assume it as fact and the rumourmongering wars start.

Yea well you know some people are at work crusing around on break when they post so there's no need to yell jackass. BTW RVR isn't considered straight up PvP since you have to actually WORK together and not run around wow style with your heads cut off like chickens.

In truth, I agree with everything you guys have said in this thred so far. FYI, I'm working on the crafting system right now and I can tell you this much, if we can pull off what I have in mind you'll be very, very happy. This is one the game system's that I'm aiming for "revolutionary " and not just evolutionary. While I normally prefer evolutionary systems (less risk) there are some systems that I really want to do something quite unique with and this is one of them. Most games, at best, are evolutionary, some are evolutionary with some revolutionary features and some, very, very few are truly revolutionary (though many devs love to boast about it for all their games in order to build hype). If we can create a fun game that is evolutionary with a number of revolutionary features, I'll be very happy.
Mark
Will crafting make it into WAR? It's uncertain at this time. If it does however, Mark Jacobs said he won't just do a rehash of any existing crafting setup in any other MMO. He wants it to be a revolutionary system that will forever change crafting in MMOs as they exist right now. I am really rooting for them to pull this off. It's about time crafting was shaken up in MMOs. It's gotten stale lately. Of all the crafting systems I've taken part in, to me DAoC had the best system. And it was fully usable in the end game, and not just only one part of it.
I hope the resource gathering system, the crafting, and the quality dynamic is very complex... I am sick of 10 ore = axe... If the game has poor crafting thats gonna be a huge hit for a "next gen" game.

Um, no RvR is both PvP and PvE. It's helping your realm get realm points to capture the zones and all that. You can do quests and still contribute. This game will be PvP based but PvE exists. And anyway, the game won't be gear based, it'll be skill based. They said city raids should get you some of the best gear, though.
On the topic of crafting, mythic has said that they're working on a nice crafting system, but they have it under raps. They're being very secretive about it, so that could possibly mean that it may be interesting, no?
And I consider large font and orange letters yelling, as well.
