The game really needs a crafting UI, no doubt about that.

At the moment crafting in D:OS is pretty much almost a pure guessing game. I couldn't be bothered to sit there for hours dragging crap around through my inventory to see if anything happens and what I might craft by doing so. Recipe books are of course helpful, but metagaming is the only way to really take full advantage of the crafting system, which isn't so great IMO.

A crafting UI would be very nice, but no idea if we will ever get that.
