Proposal
A new layout of the crafting window, with some added functionality.
Current Workaround
Use the current window.
Details
I would like to propose a rework of the crafting screen to provide better usability and some added functions. A mockup of my idea can be found as a visual aid, I suggest you open it before reading further and use it as a reference.
At the top of the window you'll have the search bar, your current leveling progress and a filter button.
The search functionality currently only applies to recipe names, I would like to have this extended to also include materials and finished products.
Clicking on the filter button will open a popup window where you can choose one or more filters, one filter to only show items for which you have the required materials, and one to only show items that have a chance to give you a crafting point. They can obviously be combined to only show items that you can craft right now and can give a crafting point.
Below that there will be a list of items, colour coded using the current system (yellow/orange, green and grey). The list will be sorted in descending order based on the required crafting level to learn the recipes. After the recipe name, there can be a number indicating the amount of items you can craft, the current system requires you to open the recipe and do math, this would be a lot quicker.
Finally, at the bottom, you will have a window that will (after selecting a recipe) show the product to be crafted, the materials, an option to select the amount of items you want to craft and a crafting button.
The amount of items can be chosen through the use of 4 buttons (minimum, 1 less, 1 more and maximum) or you can fill in the number in the field yourself. The amount of a specific material that is required will also change, for example from 100/1 to 100/50 when the amount you want to craft goes from 1 to 50.
Abuse Prevention
Can't be abused.
