I realize that ZS is not an item reliant game, so I'm wondering if there is (or will eventually be) any point in crafting ... or even gifts, for that matter ...?
The gifting is ok if you need property parts and such but the crafting never has been a good source of decent items.
gifting is only good for destructibles, crafting is a total waste on ZS, you're better off going for boss drops...
once upon a time I passed the idea to craft old un paid items to create actual useful items. I still think it would be good but now that we can sell old un items back the amount I care is equal to the amount I care to craft items.
Crafting and Raid bosses are two ideas that work great in the other Kano games but not in ZS. unfortunately.
