Yes, no doubt, some homins have gathered an insane amount of craft konwledge. But we are talking about an application available to everyone, also the freshly started player. I really don't want to see an app like a sim spoiling all the fun for the new players, we old peeps had with crafting and recipes.
Of course people don't HAVE to use it, but we all know it, once something is available people will use and abuse it. I'm talking about situations where someone with zero knowledge just pushes a button and gets a craft recipe delivered. A recipe which took months to come up with for a normal crafter.
Yes, why stop there with the sim? If you think this further, so much can be done. But I doubt it is healthy for the unique crafting experience this game offers. If you remove all the secrets, what you get is the craft system of every other generic mmo out there. Predefined recipes you just fill out with the mats. Is this fun? Not to me.
