It looks good but crafting uses to be boring

I play Saga of Ryzom now and getting materials for crafting and crafting is really tedious. It was the same with Horizons. I dont like crafting if i depend on that to get things. If i can get same good items without it its ok cause then you have a choice.
Blade with whom i have lived, blade with whom I now die. Serve right and justice one last time. Seek one last heart of evil. Still one last life of pain. Cut well old friend. Then farewell!

If you don't like to get the materials, try to buy them to another player. But to have a simple thing like the WoW craft I prefer that there is not any.
I think that the craft is one of the most important things of a MMORPG.
Well, for me its terribly boring. In EQ there was crafting but the important thing was just to kill the boss to get the ubber mats. I dont like to be endless hours alone just doing the same thing, i cant understand how that can be funny. At least in hunt you are in group and you have to explore. I just want to hunt and get ubber mats and then just give it to a npc crafter or somethign like that for some money. So when i game uses crafting skills usually means that they will be more powerful than the ones that you can find in mobs cause in other way everybody just will go to hunt ubber mobs to get the best items and in that way i depend on a person that craft something for me, which i hate cause in that way the crafters are the ones that will have the best items cause they will get lot of money to buy other items.

(old) SWG crafting > All. I hope we will see something like that again.
I agree with DrSmash, SWG crafting was the best.
I definetly hope they make it so fighters fight and crafters craft. In wow fighters fight and craft. There is no stand-alone crafter. The RP elements of having your own store and being a full-time crafter/playboy are fantastic. SWG (old) was perfect in this way. Vanguard seems very exciting.. one of the only games on the horizon that I'm drooling over

In vanguard everyone can have a crafting profession, including all the adventure classes.
All ur Mountain Dew is belong to me.

This is correct. However it will differ in the fact that 2 different people who are say Weapon Smiths, will most likely not have the same set of recipes when they hit max level in crafting. That 'cookie cutter' style of crafting (WoW's for example) where all crafting is the same, is not as fun. Im looking forward to experimenting with VG's crafting.
Also.. while crafting, you can experiment with known recipes to try and improve upon and discover hidden recipes. This can lead to someone discovering how to make the "Uber Longsword of Doom" Then, since that recipe is considered an 'epic' discovery, it could be taken out of circulation so nobody is even permitted to 'discover' it for the next week or two. In addition to that, there is no specific road map to learning any particular recipe. Each character is unique. Just because John Doe combined weapon A with component X and discovered a new recipe does not mean that Jane Doe will learn that same recipe by doing the same experiment. That sounds rather cool to me.
