Yeah, I noticed that my comments trended negative too. It wasn&#39;t really my intent to make the game seem bad. The main reason it comes out negative is because I&#39;m scrutinizing for non-combat play, which it clearly wasn&#39;t designed to support. Neither was WoW for that matter. It&#39;s not that Aion is worse, it just didn&#39;t measure up to the standard I was applying.<br /><br />The

Although your comments certainly have a fairly negative feel to them (thats the overall impression i get from reading this anyway) I&#39;m not entirely sure why Aion seems worse than WoW from a crafting point of view. Certain aspects of the game are restricted at lower levels, just as they are in WoW. This is not meant as a block to progress IMO, just a way to smooth out the learning curve. You

Oddly enough I did feel like I was reading a crafting overview of Final Fantasy XI. Rein has it dead on. The moon phasing bit was extremely annoying to level a craft. And it didn&#39;t award you levels, but rather 0.1 or if you&#39;re lucky 0.2 of a whole point at a time. That wasn&#39;t guaranteed either. Crafting really had no real reward in the game either in my own opinion. But that may

I was wondering have you tried Perfect World and is it in anyway comparable to Aion.........Thankyou Chris

Bob, I COMPLETELY agree with you. On my main (80 dwarf hunter) i have been a LW from lvl 10, put in many MANY hours to just farming leather, scales(blue dragon scales anyone?) and other such items. Then a member of our guild leveled his LW in about 6 hours and 12k gold later, he hit 450, while i am still at 438 (unlucky with artic fur drops!) That same guildie, in the following 2 weeks, leveled

I think i&#39;d prefer a crafting system that was hard but provided good rewards all the way through. A system that wasn&#39;t mandatory for crafting-only buffs (like WoW) and which had a lot of hard to make, high quality gear, all of which was in WoW terminology was BoE.<br><br>So you could dabble in the easier, lower levels of crafting for some reasonable gear for the &quot;leveling phase&quot

Bob: I agree that I would like crafting to have more &quot;cache&quot; than it currently does. There should be some way to distinguish dedicated crafters from min/max players and WoW currently doesn&#39;t have that. On the other hand, I&#39;m not sure I&#39;m in the camp that feels crafting should be so hard that no one except dedicated crafter-types would be willing to endure it. Surely there

so what did you think of Aion from a non-crafting standpoint?

sounds alot like final fantasy xi. crafting failures, learning all crafts but only being able to max 1 (theirs was 1 to 100, all others to 60). Being able to set up your own marketplace (usually done on mules and you didnt get a chair :p). critical succeses making better items (in ffxi +1&#39;s). and insanely expensive.....yup its an asian game. alot of their crafting systems have some nice

Good overview.<br><br>Crafting in Aion sounds quite similar to Saga of Ryzom. Crafting failures, being able to collect everything and becoming a high level crafter acutally being a challenge and meaning something. <br><br>I must say crafting failures sounds ok, but in practice is extremely annoying. Nothing worse than spendin a lot of play time accumulating the materials for some uber powerful
