yeah, this post was written before FR launched, but i found thier &#39;crafting minigames&#39; do be pretty awesome.<br /><br />the cooking &amp; crafting ones ruled..., the gathering ones were fun, but all too much of the same.

So basically, Free Realms? That would be pretty sweet.

Ixobelle, you really should try out A Tale in the Desert one day. It has a different interface for every craft, and some are quite complicated.

&quot;I personally don&#39;t want more work in my tradeskills. The game I want to play is &quot;smashing someone&#39;s face in&quot; not &quot;pretend I have a job, and in fact a job that is worse than my real-life job, which doesn&#39;t involve manual labor&quot;. There&#39;s a reason I didn&#39;t buy Cooking Mama for my Wii but got Force Unleashed instead. You are describing Cooking Mama.&quot;

I would recommend you to try Vanguard's crafting system. There's a 14-day trial around these days, and you don't have to reach any level to start crafting, you can do it right away, and if you take work orders from NPCs you won't even need to gather anything too, they're provided to you. It's reminiscent of the old system of EQ 2, but I think it's better.

Funny that RMT comes up here. I was going to point out that Puzzle Pirates has a good crafting system, and now I get to point out that their dual currency microtransaction economy completely wipes out RMT by monetizing the demand.<BR/><BR/>That said, I'd like if this sort of thing was an option, but not if it's mandatory. Perhaps make it mandatory for extremely high end crafting recipes to make

I miss the old days when only a few people actually wanted to craft. Back when it was boring and tedious to most. Nowadays (in WoW at least) you're almost expected to have a tradeskill maxed.<BR/><BR/>Good call on mentioning ATiTD. That game was so cool in the crafting processes. You start out with absolutely nothing and have to like break some branches to make a brick rack, then you gotta

Hey Ixo, long time NA reader, 1st time poster.<BR/><BR/>Seems like a good idea for crafting for the truly hardcore players. But it sounds like it would be too time consuming for the average "joe plumber" player. (lol politics)<BR/><BR/>After farming all the mats for my stuff for hours on end dealing with chinese and alliance and whatnot, I think I would rather hang myself than have to spend time

<I>Honestly I'd rather pay 10k gold for a rocket mount than 50$ for one... because it has a sense of achievement.</I><BR/><BR/>but if you can buy 10,000 gold for 50$, then it just supports RMT and gold selling... as much as i hate to say it, in the above situation, the best avenue for everyone would be to have both options... 10,000 gold, OR by doing a real money transaction on

I really don't agree with the selling of in-game items for irl money krimspins. That would mean that the person who has the best or the coolest stuff would be the one willing to spend the most money in real life, and not people that actually work in game for the desired item. Honestly I'd rather pay 10k gold for a rocket mount than 50$ for one... because it has a sense of achievement.

Wow, that's amazing that people would be that kind. WoW has a bit of an insurance system though. Once petitioned GMs will actually come to the aid of the scammed. <BR/><BR/>And of course let us not overlook the joy of the "trade window". It didn't always exist. That's right, you had to drop items on the ground (like my above mentioned Wrath) for someone to pick them up. And yes that means

The avenue exists to 'walk away' in almost any MMO. WoW had me regularly taking 40x arcane dust and 4x large brilliant shards from random people in the good faith that I would then reopen trade with the person and actually perform a Savagery Enchant on their weapon.<BR/><BR/>Funny story: back when WoW was newish, I was trying to move some gold from server to server, with one of those 'I'll give

I like the write-up Ixo. One brutally unfortunate side of this is allowing for scammers. Not that I have issue with it, I used to play The Realm! the most scam happy MMO in history. But most of these care-bear kids would weep if they had their precious +4 elf shoes swiped!!<BR/><BR/>Krimsin: plz to indestruct my sword<BR/>FunnyMcDickbag: OK<BR/>((Krimsin drops The Wrath.<BR/>((FunnyMcDickbag
