So the crafting revamp is currently not a priority anymore - instead resources are being diverted to make to make a dungeon/raid finder usable by both AoC & TSW, which hopefully won't take too long since we'll have the TSW team working on it. Also not much said on merging Rage into Fury OR opening up transfers.
Thanks Slith, and Cirith. I'm not very happy about some of the answers, but it was nice to receive a reply anyway.
