4. Crafting is Cool Again
Remember sitting for hours at a time in town while you combined hundreds of bolts of cloth to combine with hundreds of spools of string to make hundreds of bags? Well in Guild Wars 2 keep the hundreds of items (if you want to), but cut the time by about 80%. Oh, also, take some experience not just toward your crafting level, but also your character level. But wait, there's more! Want something different than the recipes you get by default? Take ingredients of your choice, throw them into the discovery window together, and see what comes out. Oh and while you are at it, take some bonus experience when you discover a new recipe. Ever want to have legendary weapons and armour? Better get to crafting. So far it's the only known way to get them. How could you not want to do this??
