The Importance of Crafting in Games

This is as annoying as it gets when it comes to these kinds of things games where you can craft items, but the items you craft are nowhere near as good as the ones you can just find by doing a dungeon or killing a monster. That whole system, you could just get rid of it. There's no fun to just collecting ore. And in the middle of your adventure, you have to stop and pick a flower and chop down a tree. To me, the core of these games is I go into a dungeon, I fight dangerous monsters, I get past traps, I do puzzles, and the reward is some cool stuff that has cool effects  and is good for yours.
