To this day, I’ve really only been a “crafter” in a small handful of MMOs: Fallen Earth, World of Warcraft, and Lord of the Rings Online. However, almost every time I start a new game, I have the best of intentions to take advantage of the crafting system. Those plans just never seems to coalesce.
If I’m honest with myself, I have to admin the reason that I bail on crafting usually has a lot to do with time. Time spent gathering and crafting is time not spent on (in my opinion) much more interesting activities such as questing and fighting. Plus crafting can be a huge moneysink and doesn’t always offer exclusive rewards that can’t be purchased or won elsewhere.
Some of you are crafters. But for those who aren’t, what keeps you from crafting in MMOs?
