One of the things that I will miss from the old system was that we could craft 4* and 5* gear for others.
Is the reason for the change that OOO doesn't want us to "benifit" from using the item and then later sell the item to another player? If that's the problem, let us apply heat to any item in our inventory, and we will be able to craft for others, while not "using" the item for ourselves.
this could go with another suggest to melt down old and useless equipment into unbound modules that can b applied to new ones
