Should there be a slight change to crafting UI?

Who feels this should be switched around? I feeling the game more like Pay 2 Win, as I look at right side of screen to setup crafting jobs the Buy (from crown store) option sticks out like a sore thumb vs Craft option. Maybe I just crazy but what you all think?

[R] Craft [F] Buy Crafting Items --> [F] Buy Crafting items [R] Craft

    It shouldn't be there at all.

    If you want to buy then buy. If you want to craft then craft.

    A majority of people read from left to right so how it is makes sense.

    I don't think swapping them around would make any difference as the Buy Crafting Items is significantly longer so sticks out anyway.

    But... The crafting options panel is on the right. After choosing what you want to build your eyes go from the right to the left to hit the "Craft" button.

    But now there's a new (and unnecessary) "Buy" button there! :O

    It should be removed since you can only buy mimic stones not actual crafting items, very misleading.

    I said "yes" because my muscle memory automatically takes me there and I end up clicking that link every time. I thought about suggesting they switch it around, but I figure in a few more months I'll have it figured out.
    Blessed are those who explore the unbeaten path...

    Pay to Win ? Could you please explain how buying cosmetics (motif stones) is going to make you win the game ?

    From a developer stand-point, "[R] Craft" is your secondary binding while "[F] Buy Crafting Items" is your tertiary binding. It ultimately makes sense to have the tertiary binding after the secondary one.

    Though I could also argue that it could be placed in another position if people are actually using their mouse to manually click on these instead of using the keybinding.

    The suggestion that crafting is P2W is way off to the point it is false on its face. I can only assume the OP does not have much experience crafting in this game.

    The only crafting matts that can be in the cash shop is for the racial trait. This has absolutely zero value to the effectiveness of the gear. Set bonus and ukgradinh the gear to epic and legendary are what changes how efectice the gear is. These are only obtainable through in game action.

    Edit: you can also buy the lore books to learn the racial style but again, this doesn't change the effectiveness of the gear. Nada.

    I think it should be changed to say Buy Mimic Stones(to stop people, who are too lazy to check, from thinking you can buy other things). Other than that I don't really care.

    Obviously not since it is obvious this is setup for purchasing the mimic stone for crafting in a racial style.

    Crafting like this isn't P2W at all, but it does annoy me that it's there. I understand why it's there, but I'll never use it. At least give me the option to remove that from my Crafting screen.

    I voted "Yes" because it's an eye sore. To me.
    Wake up, we're here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up...
