Just a suggestion, but something I know is / always has been a gripe of crafters.
To help appease the crafting community with all the delays could you please expand the CRAFTING RESOURCE inventory for say the 5 Year aniv. Or even offer baggs that would expand this. Or even better add resource space to all the existing bags the same as regular inventory space ( bought the jumbo NUL bag way back and was a bit disapointed it did nothing for resource space.. semi rippoff)
No matter what the new crafting is like it will require inventory. Currently it is extremely frustrating, and from what you have shown in the revamp vids the resource item counts wont be going down, so this means it will continue to be frustrating for crafters.
Anyways dont know if it would be a huge coding change, but it seems that since there is already the coding for regular inventory then this shouldnt be too much different. Also it would be a hot seller (i know i have at least 4 toons that would buy.
