You Made A...

I recently decided to take up crafting on one of my newly made wizards. I was able to reach CL crafting in one day. So far it's been great. But I do find something to be a little annoying. Whenever you craft something, whether it be gear, housing items, or transmuting, this little message pops up saying "You Made A (Insert Item You Just Made Here)". It lasts for around 3 seconds and while it's up, you can't do anything. You can't exit the crafting overlay, or even click the Create button while this message is up.

I know it's a very small thing, that some might not even notice, but I find it to be a unnecessary nuisance that can easily be removed, or edited. My idea is, either get rid of that message popping up entirely, but I don't think that needs to happen. Or allow the player to still be able to exit the crafting overlay, or click the Create button again while the message is still up. This message especially gets annoying when I'm trying to transmute multiple reagents, and have to wait for the message to fade away every time I click Create.

This is too true. Once I had to transmute about 25 fossils and 40 black pearls, and I HATED this. I fully second the idea to remove it as it's rather useless.

Oh, yes, this is annoying especially when transmuting; but please realize some players need to know that they completed that task - you know the craft quests depend on it.
So being told "You made a Stinger of the Scorpion", for instance, is helpful, because what if there was a problem or a glitch and you didn't manage to complete the task and you're wondering what happened? and where is it?

An idea for this problem would be if it's the first of that item you crafted in that use of the crafting table. For instance, crafting 3 Blood Moss in one go would give you one alert and be done faster than now. However, if you leave the crafting interface and rejoin it, then you would get 2/3 alerts. Crafting 3 Blood Moss and then 2 Black Pearls would give you one Blood Moss alert and one Black Pearl alert. This helps you with certain quests. Or of course the alert could open only on items and not reagents/snacks/TCs/jewels.

If they need to know whether they crafted it they can check with three different ways. If for a quest, they will get the "Goal Complete" text which everyone gets after completing a quest. Or they can see if they have less of the necessary reagents they had than they did before clicking the craft button. Or even just check their backpack to see if the item they wanted to craft is in there.

Then we should be able to click through it instead of waiting around for the popup to go away on its own. We absolutely should not have to wait for it to finally decide to toddle off when those of us who know full well what we just did don't need any extra help.

It is pretty annoying I personally think it should be toggle-able like the tutorial alert bubble things, or chat bubbles
