Don't remove content

I like that devs are making the game more clear but I think it is becoming too simple. There, where are unnecessary thing, throw it out. But a lot of content was deleted. E. g. now you can make dry concrete cube in eq, but earlier you can craft wet one in cement mixer, earlier were rebar frames. More content = more things to do. People like crafting . Do you share my opinion?

Some people like tedious crafting where you have to go through a lot of steps to get something done but most people who still like crafting prefer a more streamlined method that lets them be creative without all the extra work.  This is one of the reasons realistic simulation games often don't sell that well compared to other games.  Sure, a game where you forge weapons using realistic techniques is fun for some people.  I have such a game and it really isn't badly made and was interesting for a short time but quickly got boring from all the steps needed.

The game is crafting one, so people who like crafting should find sth for them here. But I don't talk about complicated and like in real life crafting. Just not so simple. More various recipe. Rebar frames wasn't complicated. More cubes upgrades was, in my opinion, better. Now you are unable to upgrade with same material. More content is always good. Game wouldn't be monotonous and you spend more time playing. At this point looting have the biggest impact. If you wanna have better things, you must loot a lot. What about research table? Or gaining experience in e. g. archery by just shooting a bow. More more enjoyable solution, I think. Also more realistic. Don't be so pessimistic. Devs are implement changes in order to test them. And as I said, I kied more previous versions.

They've said they aren't bringing back LBD.  Whether or not you find this monotonous and whether or not someone else does are two different things.  For me, having to go through a bunch of steps would be monotonous.  Others have different opinions than both of us.  They aren't going to go back to the past alphas and are moving forward.  They decided those things weren't what they wanted and moved on.
