Two words: Credit Sink
If the devs can find a way to get credits out of the economy they do it. Grinding burns credits, therefore grinding is good for the devs.

I don't see why anyone would want to be an FS Master Crafter...
Many ppl havedocumented the vast amount of time and resources it takes to become an FS Crafting Master... so no need to re-state that here.
And what is the big payoff? A greater chance of amazings, and a reduced chance of crits...
Pfft... Since most of my crafting is factory based, I can live with the current levels of amazing and crits I get while making an optimal schematic. Even if I have to redo custom work every now and then - because of a bad roll -I can live with that too.
The loss of time, credits and resources I have to put up with in the current crafting environment is NOTHING compared to the massive amount of time, credits and resources I'd have to expend on gaining FS Crafting Mastery.
The cost/benefit ratio for Mastering FS Crafting is simply laughable.
No offense to any crafter who wants to do it, and more power to ya. But it seems to be a fool's-errand...
Agreed. I would rather spend the money on getting Skill Tapes which give me +20 on Experimentation and +20 on Assembly. As long as I get this all into one suit of clothing, and use a 14.7 crafting tool, and a 40 somethign crafting station, within a city that specialises in Research, then the Force benefits are totally wiped away.
Add this to the fact that i can get the skill tapes and crafting tools/stations simply, without having to do the very dull grind, and still enjoy my profession, I am at a total loss as to why any crafter should persue the Crafting mastery tree at all.
So currently, I have skill tapes that give +13 to experimentation and +5 to Assembly, I have a 14.76 Crafting tool, and a 33 Crafting Station. My home city does specialise in Research so, in an evening, I get almost no critical failures, and most of my experimentation is great or amazing.
I will go to the village to do the quests, because they are added content, and quite challenging, but as to getting Jedi. this is for th ecombat players only. Again! Thanks SOE
