The Suggestion:

• Crafting speed increases slightly for each level of skill.
  

The reasoning:

In real life, will a master chef fumble about slicing the vegetables at the same speed as a novice? Or will they speed through it with their honed knife skills...

The inverse is true for swords; a masterwork might take months, while an amateurish blade can be forged in a day

Perhaps dependent on the type of skill. Or some other form of bonus granted to those other professions. Maybe higher chance for good qualities when it's forged, or comes partly upgraded already? etc

I was mostly just joking, it's a good suggestion. I think crafting times are a little long for certain items like seeds especially. Anything you wanna craft in batches of 20+ should be a "quick" item and just take half as long.
