Seconded. The manufacturing business in EVE keeps the game alive to some extent. It's pretty complex and you certainly have to work your way up through it, but it can be pretty lucrative. There's only so much you can do on your own though; the game is geared mainly towards corporations and alliances.

I agree, think some of these suggestions are that the game has crafting rather than it's actually good! lol

Crafting in EQ2 involves gathering your ingredients and then finding a crafting hall which has crafting stations for your various professions, e.g. forge, sewing table, chemistry bench, woodworking, stove etc. (forget the actual names).

Then you click create and the process starts, icons appear on screen which are anomolies with your product and these need countering by clicking another corresponding icon. Depending on how well you click, you can make say a rough sword, a sword, a sharp sword, a pristine sword, and so on, all from the same item recipe.

It's good fun imo, and the crafting process is almost like a little game all in itself. It can take several minutes to actually make something if you're trying for the best quality of item and you have to click things throughout the process, where as WoW is just click, wait, done.

EQ2 crafting is a lot better than WoW imo, but WoW has had my subscription for longer. Horses for courses and all that :)
 
EQ2 had the most in-depth crafting system I've seen in a game, there are actually elements of skill involved.
 
Crafting in wow is rubbish. To make good gear you need raid instance drops, then the gear you can make is worse than the gear that drops in the raids, so kind of begs the question, whats the point?

I would go for EQ2 even though I got the impression it got nerfed a bit, but its still pretty good.

nope star wars galaxies pre cu was definately the most in depth crafting in an mmo ever, to an extent cu, and now nge is the most wasted crafting system in an mmo, as looted > crafted, unless its armour, but that dont decay.

right now whats separates a good crafter from a bad in swg is resource quality, and budget to buy resources. so no great skill involved.
 
I loved it in SWG especially when, well this is years ago! I sat in my mates house with everything that was rumored to be lucky for amazing successes :p crafting my 4th gen to go with all my awesomely tuned -9's hah.

Good times.
 
I loved the SWG crafting system - was about the only thing that kept me playing for the last few months that I played it :/


This was before any expansion though. I loved the way you collected materials and the way the quality of the materials affected the quality of the end product :)
