Ahh well, seems everyone is still just as mad in the new year. 2012 fail :P Smelting is just a part of the normal crafting process, and is partially present to slow down how fast people plow items onto the market. This isn't much different from the old heating/cooling forging had, or the current mechanics for drying pelts before using them with tanning. What is different is that with good tools, good stats and the right techniques you can halve the time it takes to refine resources. How much of an improvement would make you un-mad? Right now smelting ranges from about 2-4 minutes depending on the factors I mentioned earlier. If we gave a master smelting technique that further halved RTs, would that be better? It isn't going to be possible to make smelting teach for people of all ranks. That is no better than braiding grass 24/7, a mechanic that makes me even more mad.
