The 2014 PC did drop the topic on a regular basis...
Well it was one of our thread derailment topic, we even tried, when we were still believing that our feedback
could have an impact on the game, to build fully revamp the various crafting systems into something coherent.
We were discussing which one to merge with which other ( we wanted to reduce the number of systems to 2/3 )
and then Turbine dropped Thunderforged behind our back... we took it as a clear clue that they didn't care
about feedback about things they didn't ask us... and just let the topic rot.
So don't expect anything... As I said numerous time : revamping/updating old stuff doesn't have any appeal on a resume, while
creating new stuff can be put as a big achievement on a resume, even when it's a pet project like Vargouille's Guild Ship Revamp.
( yes he did commit that one, and yes it was a pet project
).
