as much as I love funcom, the crafting thing was not only to be put in "soon" a YEAR ago, but it seemed to have a ton if it already done. They had a video on MMORPG.com (you can find it on youtube looking for aoc crafting revamp) showing it off. The new UI, gems, components, visual aspect, everything. They had so much done, yet its been a year....
Also been 2 years since mages were promised revamp.
I have no doubt we'll get these things, just think it's gonna be far too late for a lot of people.
