No crafted Pipe Organ. That's a major disappointment.

I can take most of the "gold sink instead of craftable" items.

But crafting instruments is special. Not being able to craft the pipe organ is a major disappointment.

 

+1 to make the simple/wooden organ craftable.

 

This rather disappointed me as well, though I was happy to see people could now buy a basic one from a NPC.

I do wish there was a slightly more fancy version we could craft, but not as nice as the store one obviously. That would be nice.

 

I once had a hope that SOTA would develop a sane theme around items, like I've found on other F2P MMOs. I was sadly and sorely mistaken. I.e., in a SANE world, things would work something along the lines of:

Ornate XXXX -> Store version of item, best looking you can get, takes COTOs
Fine XXXX -> High level crafted version of item, looks pretty good
XXXX -> low level crafted version of the item, looks janky (See the craftable bookshelves)

And perhaps a merchant version of XXXX (Fancy?).

Instead, we have both "Ornate" and "Fine" in the store, and the vast majority of what you can craft, regardless of level, looks less than stellar. The bookshelf in particular is an utter joke. I literally made a better looking bookshelf 30 years ago when I was a teenager.

 

Yeah me too. Cinder blocks FTW.
