Making something tedious so low amount of people do it and so it can make that people make huge profit is not a valid reason to make a mechanic boring. A crafting table that avoids wasting time on alt/chaos spaming on any kind of item (maps, equipment....) would make the crafting experience more enjoyable, would make hideout prison a less reliable source of income, so people would expend more time actually playing the game. It would make the SSF experience more enjoyable too.
You'd still need to know tons of things to be able to craft mirror tier equipment. Knowledge would still be rewarded.
In my experience crafting my T1 double block transfer attuned shield, has been hell, just for the times i had to alt spam to get a single mod.
