Flav, wouldn't "Combined the 4,011 crafting systems in DDO to one single seamless comprehensible system" look good on a dev resume?
Posting here what I posted ( click to enlarge ) :
sorry for the quality of the last two.
The above 'slides' are what I call a crafting system... What DDO has is a ragtag of unrelated shitty wanabee stepchild of a crafting system...
There's only two that are bit above the pile of shit : Greensteel and Cannith. Sadly they are left to rot.

And we all know Update 24 or 25 is Epic Vale.
Say U25... I don't think U24 will be Vale... there's still that tiny issue with Epic Greensteel and Thunderforged.... Turbine doesn't want to obsolete Thunderforged, and Epic Vale without Epic Greensteel is not Vale.... There's been many suggestion on that topic from the PC the make both live together without stepping on each other... right now it's in the hands of Turbine. ( so expect the worst )

About as long as designing a dozen new multi-layered pointless ship hulls?
Or as long as designing a ginormous spacious hall for heroes that serves no necessary purpose?
Or as long as designing a gigantic mother fracking wilderness area that people only run once.
Hey, I like this game!
Ooh-ooh, I have another one....
As long as designing say semi-pointless enhancement trees that few can use when others are desperately needed.
There must be more.... Huh
Sadly, not the same dev...
Pointless ships and Giganormous areas/Halls require a 3D mapping Dev and a texture artist ( if there's new texture added ).
Pointless system changes needs a system dev. ( and eventually an UI artist to fit the new stuff in the UI )
Refurbishing all the shitty mess that is called Crafting in DDO requires a planner ( not a Project Mangler, a real planner... somebody that can make nice slides like mine taking as base all the ingredients in game ), a database dev, and several scripting devs... the system dev might be used as a scripting dev... but we all know there's no database expert at Turbine...
