It should be easy to craft low level items

Systems in games should be easy to pick up and hard to master. The crafting in Ashes is had to pickup and hard to master. I am totally okay with complex crafting systems. But, it shouldn’t be difficult and complex at the start. It would be better if it gradually got more complex as you level your crafting artisanship skill. And I’m not the only one who has major issues with crafting. Many in the community also have voiced their concerns with the current system. So, it is a genuine problem. I understand that it is an alpha. But, the devs need to know that they need to really rework the crafting system before launch. So, that this feature is way less polarizing than it is in its current state.

    Just because you found people to support your claim doesn't mean it's right by volume. Take a minute and think of the opposite side. What this does is it enforces, from the beginning, that you won't be an army of one. Much like the combat in this game.

    Ashes has shown that it wants to get away from how 'modern' MMOs do things and go back to the way it used to be. Community driven. The saying, "It takes a village" applies here. From the beginning of your journey bit it combat or crafting, you need others to support you. Now you could do it all your self in the beginning. But as you progress you will steadily learn that more and more you need help of others.

    It's not too complex, it just doesn't hold your hand at the moment. What the issue is currently is that it doesn't explain to you, that well, how you need to go about things or where to find stuff. That it very much can do better.
