Well, I always thought it would be cool to have a crafting system with great detail, so that all crafters could be creative with thier item-making. Even though its probably too much to ask for or whatever, here it goes.
When you decide to craft lets say a short sword instead of just tossing in the mats and hoping for the best you could actually make that short sword the way you want. You could make "blueprints" for your sword, which would basically be a new window that gives you the option to name the sword, and also show you the sword's parts in a list like pommel, hilt, cross-guard, blade. Each part would have a list of styles you could choose from based from your weapon-smithing skill, thus making your craft unique. Then when you choose the styles for each part you put down what materials will be used to make each part, so if you use gold to make the pommel, the pommel would look and shine like gold.
When your 'blueprint' is done you would then have to have all the mats that where chosen for the sword before you can go on to crafting it. This could be used for most items, making the world have a high sense of variety when it comes to items. I know this would be a complicated project but you asked for wishes and here is one of mine.
