Odd Crafting-Style / "Game-Layer" from the AMA: Will Crafting be Arcade/Twitch?

When Steven was going over the full, final list (awesome!) of Crafting professions in the AMA, he'd made mention of what they are considering for the 3rd-step of artisanship, which was the act of the actual crafting.

"Hitting the hammer" and other such speech made this sound as though there will be an "arcade" or "twitch" element to crafting stat-ed objects. I'm just not sure how I feel about that. It initially feels out of place - but maybe not. However, it does open up possibilities for things like lag affecting possible twitch-based outcomes, on items.

Is anyone else concerned / caught off-balance by the possibility of arcade-crafting?

I just re-read the enchanting system. Ok that makes more sense.

Thanks

There is a chance that people will whine loud enough that Intrepid removes the "destroys" part. It is already vague, judging by Steven's explanation, and majority of people COMPLAINED big time the last time item destruction was mentioned.

I would complain in an even larger font but that would require making one of those Image based character sets like kidnapping ransom notes in old movies if I didn't want to risk breaking the Forum's Markup Language.

I'm tired of crafting being irrelevant when there are no items leaving the economy. The best games with crafting had item destruction. It made resources more important.

The enchanting / over-enchanting is a push your luck mechanic, which is great.

I'm also for on death a % of materials get deleted like Albion Online, further increasing material demand and promotes smart play and danger of the world.
