How do all these other avenues of item acquisition affect what you're doing on crafting?
TL;DROther acquisition avenues matter a lot to crafting, since they can hand out the many blueprints and materials, and gathering is the foundation layer, with possibly some pre-crafted loot in boxes.
It's big. With crafting, God knows how many things we're going to inject as rewards: thousands of blueprints, hundreds of materials. So we really need all of this available to us so we can dish it out into all various parts of the game. Some places where it's more difficult, some places where it's easier, unique resources, different systems. So it's big, because the whole gathering aspect of crafting is the foundation layer. It's the biggest layer of the pyramid, then refining, and then crafting at the very top. So it's big, big.
All of the pieces that we've talked about so far, all of the work that Luke, Nick, Andrei and Elliot are doing, all of that content is things that we'll be able to add blueprints to, add crafting materials to, and in loot boxes you might potentially even find some pre-crafted loot, but we'll see about that.
