It has definitely changed the template. I'm interested to see how it
pans out though as they've had to compromise on aspects of the level
& advance mechanics as well as combat rewards for the benefit of the
craft system.  Having made these changes, do people still have a
motivation to actually hunt mobs?

If not then the crafters will have a problem. A large proportion of
their market would appear to be the killers. What happens if they
all get bored and leave, the crafters won't have anyone to buy their
wares.
