One thing. I. Have always though ridiculous in the previous system, and that new system has fixed is that mats used to be more precious/expensive than crafts. Which is illogical. Now that crafts are the way to get dappers and mats arent worth much through the merchant, it is more feasible to buy mats and craft them without loosing all your dappers (provided you craft for missions rather than crafting with no purpose and throw away the junk)
