I won't argue primacy of problems, but I will certainly agree with
you that lacking a use for crafted items is a problem with current
multiplayer games.

<laughs> My career over the past 20 years or so has been as a
software engineer :) I find the process of crafting the code itself
entertaining, and that partly serves as the basis for my
observations here. I enjoy the crafting process, and then I enjoy
the use of my product by customers. Games are about entertainment,
and having to do something that is not entertaining in order to gain
something that you *do* find entertaining is just silly. If there
are people who just want to sell crafted items from their shop, then
they should be able to hire NPCs to craft items for them to sell.
That way, they retain a sense of ownership of the items without
having to go through the non-entertainment of crafting, but they get
to provide the service of new items for the community. And all the
checks and balances of the world economy are retained (e.g. no
insta-crafting).

I think that's an admirable approach to crafting. I guess I
described something similar just above, but with the attitude of
breaking each trade into chunks so that a player can step into the
overall process at any level that they care to.

All I was really saying was that whether NPCs provide raw materials
or whether players provide them makes no difference. As you've
suggested, uncontrolled introduction of assets (cash being something
of an aside) into an economy with fixed prices is another of those
'sillies'. We're in essential agreement on what is viable and what
is not in an economic model.

Ah, I see. You're saying that the player's decision is not mindless
when crafting an item for a customer. That each item is
custom-designed. If sufficiently involved, I could see that working
well. It certainly seems to answer my hope to make crafting itself
entertaining. It would, however, take a very involved environment
in which the items functioned.

I didn't mean anything particularly specific by my use of 'master'.
It's simply a statement that if I want the elevated levels of
entertainment in a given character skill set, I have to commit to
doing that and forego other entertainment. What the entertainment
that I gain access to might be is highly dependent on the game.
Being a master tailor might mean that my character gains access to
certain social circles because nobility only hires master tailors.
No journeymen are admitted, thank you. At the same time, that
tailor is completely unable to engage in combat or do any magic.
The player has chosen the career of a tailor, and the most complete
entertainment that a tailor has is available to that player.

I broadly agree with this. I suspect that many interested in
finding some kind of real reward from combat would argue that there
is no purpose to all their combat in much the same way that
tradesfolk argue that there is no purpose to all their crafting.
All of the discussions about player-controlled worlds is a sign of
that discontent. While I think that player-controlled worlds are a
bad idea, I certainly like the idea of players feeling a sense of
impact and involvement in the operations of the game world. All I
want to do is to make some wagon wheels and know that the NPCs of
the town are using them - and that the NPCs are going to be around
for a while and do something with their lives while they're around.

I guess it's the perception of Folks With Money that combat is
entertaining, while the more subtle stuff is not. When the games
that successfully pursue the subtle stuff come out and are hugely
successful, Folks With Money will start cranking out copies as fast
as they can.
