Is there any point to crafting?...

I've never crafted in the official servers, so I decided to try crafting in the private server Wudijt 无敌惊天动地 where the items are easy to get, and you get to 100% in just one craft (as compared to the 100 crafts in normal server, which is totally ridiculous)
Here are my results, which I gave up after just the first level:

Aramid crafting for Sword of Proof asks for Sword of Amp with +2%
- Crafting Sword of Amp will fail at least 50% of the time
- 25% of the time you will not get +2%, but +3 or +1%
- 10% of the time you will get an extra slot which messes up your weapon and renders it useless for proof
- only around 15% of the time you will get one that is exactly 2% with no slot

After getting the 2% sword, I try to craft the proof sword
- 90% it will fail
Yes I've tried this and I don't care what you say your luck stream was, but I crafted at least 20 Amp Swords, which took a lot of mouse clicking as the stupid cartridges only comes in a pack of one, and several hundred swords, every single one of them failed on Proof crafting

This is only for the first level of crafting. I don't want to imagine the horror that awaits in any later levels, such as Titanium or Osmium, where it requires a +0 double slot titanium/aqua weapon/armor with enchant, which is almost impossible to get in the first place, and where the fail rate is at least 90%.

My conclusion: crafting is a futile attempt at bringing "rpg elements" into this game.

This is directed at crafters who got beyond Titanium level in any server, what is your conclusion to crafting? Did you make any profit at all, or was it a futile attempt as most crafts failed?

Once again met with spam.
If you have anything even remotely related to my question except spam comments like "it's just your bad luck" feel free to share.

It's normal that proof crafts are really hard.
The first stage isn't hard at all, I passed it with just some crafts (on offical server)
bluestin is also not hard.

titanium is the most painful stage. the 2% sword amp are really rare and after that you know how often the proof craft fails..
osmium is easy, because normal slotted osmium parts are nothing worth. same for redosmium armor.

the weapon crafts are twice as hard as armor crafts, because you need to craft shadowtitanium. if you craft armor, you will be able to skip the shadowtitanium. for example on blades: you need tita blade of proof and shadowtita of proof.

but if you passed the titanium craft, you'll be rich (well, at least on offical server..) because everyone needs crafted osmium/redosmium/mithril.
