I’m going to let you in on a little secret: A lot of the people you see in an MMORPG who are into crafting aren’t actually into crafting. The thing is that there are a lot of people who are less interested in crafting in the abstract and more into having some non-combat gameplay, and a lot of games that otherwise have little to no non-combat gameplay still need someone to make all of the pointy things that you use to kill stuff. So people wind up into crafting despite not really being into crafting things.
But I don’t want to speak for everyone. Some people genuinely like the idea of being A Person Who Makes Stuff in an online game. Some people want to both make stuff and kill stuff. Some people even want to make stuff when they could do other non-killing stuff because they just find making stuff fun. So how invested are you in MMORPG crafting?
