Depending on the
title, crafting systems in MMOGs can either be equally as complex as
standard character advancement mechanics or as simple as pressing a

rewards for their efforts. In the most recent update on the details
surrounding Cataclysm, Blizzard outlined some of the upcoming changes
to crafting in the expansion which we’ll take a closer look
at today in Loading... Cataclysmic Crafting Changes.
