Started playing FFXI. :P

*wiggles his happy and no-longer-needing mouseclick tradeskill fingers, cause they made it doable easy without*

But seriously. Take breaks, plenty of fluids, and I find even a nice occasional dose of Ben-Gay or the like is a good idea.

Wait for them to make tradeskills better via repeating the item if you have the ingredients, without having to click and drag.

Oh, but prepare to hear more complaining about this from people who don't understand the horrors of RTS (or think that everyone should have to suffer because they did.)

I'm one of the people, probably with thousands of others, who wrote a letter to SOE eons ago about making tradeskills easier via some sort of selection menu or something (with auto combining of items you have.) They waited until I closed my two accounts to finally bother possibly doing this, but for the people who still play it will be nice.

I've been playing FFXI and I really enjoy tradeskills in that. it selects things from the item menu which eliminates dragging and clicking (can be done with numpad and other keys, even easier if you use a gamepad.) You also can do tradeskills "on the road" in FFXI, which is great. You are out in the wild and kill stuff and when you get the right kind of crystal and other drops you can instantly combine them on the spot.
