Crafting was simply too tedious for me to continue with. I actually liked the minigame, but having to sort through 3,000 kinds of minuscule items, regardless of how easy it may be now, back then, just burned me out of really ever wanting to try to poke my head back into doing it again. Shit was bad, yo.
