	slothinator wrote on Jul 7^th, 2011 at 4:43pm: Inkblack - I thought you mentioned a while ago that many of the ML testers were dropping because some of the things that rolled out were pretty bad. Any chance that this craftardedness was one of the culprits? Much of the raid loot from older quests is quite useless, and I have no problem with those pieces being used in crafting if they are not going to upgrade the quest itself. However, assigning the still useful items to crafting just seems dumb, especially if the end result is going to be less powerful than the items used to craft in the first place. They actually cited Druids and bugs that make it all the way to live as the main issues.

	well, it seems to me they are trying to get people to quest more, especially quests that people dont do very much anymore. i see what they are trying to do and i think that bump in the road bunny hopped them down a side path. i think they need to tweak it a bit. i dont craft, but it will still affect me because its bad enough it could take 20, 40, 60 etc completions to get that named item, but to probably only get what i want MAYBE on every 20th completion since people will take it for crafting. however, does this mean the drop rates would increase? hmmm... that could be a different ballgame than.

They just need to fire the entire systems team at this point and hire on random people from the harbor.� Have some poor code monkey implement what this brain trust comes up with and frankly I can't imagine it would be worse then what the systems team has inflicted upon us with dungeon scaling, dungeon alert, epic loot, epic system yoyo's, the 'spell pass', 'lag fixing' nerfs to melee dps, and cannith crafting.

There is no way the fucksticks they have testing would have said, "Uh, chattering ring sounds like a great idea for something to burn up crafting!". They QA?Testers have no idea how the game is played if they think any of that crap was a good idea.

	This whole thing is a massive fuck up or reaks of hidden motives. As far as I can tell Cannith Crafting really only had benefits for making the best randomly generated weapons. Random gear fails in comparison to named/raid/epic gear on every point of measure. They don't want everyone walking around with super boss beaters. The fix is limit the amount of silver weapons that drop. Think handwraps, expect at least those have an identified quest where they drop. So it's a huge melee nerf. It's a cash grab plain and simple. I'm VIP, but if I wasn't I'd have to buy those packs to get those raid loot ingredients. Then I have to farm those packs. Then I have to pull because Dreamspitters/Chattering Rings/Dragon's Bloods will be looted by everyone that crafts. Let alone the fact that that +3 tome of my dump stat just gained value to me and everyone else. There were, I'm convinced, people that knew this was coming before hand. For weeks the Argo AH had anywhere from 25-33 pages of greater essences, and you could find buy outs at ~500pp a piece. Last few days it's been 6-12 pages with the lowest buy out being 2 for 1400pp. Someone at Turbine knew and gushed letting their buddies cram the crafting levels before it goes live. Make as many holy burst and GEOB shards now so they wouldn't have to later. And to top it off those empty sacks think anyone would buy the 'whoops' we didn't mean to code and test stupid ingredients.

	I honestly like the idea of certain shitty raid loot being used for crafting, same with named items, even good named items. The ease that people had obtained crafting levels for the best craftable items was disappointing. I really like the idea of haves and have nots due to skill and time spent playing, someone macro-ing and using all the plat from their dowsing wands to essentially buy those weapons was a joke. Having 1 or 2 master crafters per guild being fed essenses and shards from the other 15-20 members per crafter makes sense to me as a realistic level of grind, on par with guild renown. That being said what ever retard made a chattering ring part of the recipe for G halfling bane should be horse whipped for incompetence. I could accept whoops we made it too expensive requiring 5 dragon blood etc its in the ball park and simply needs a balance tweak. Obviously noone is ever going to make a G halflingbane shard for actual use and requiring what is one of the hardest pieces of loot to obtain from the least run raid isnt even in the same fucking sport, never mind the same ballpark of screwups/tweaks as the dragon blood tweak. It is insulting to me as a someone who has spent hundreds of dollars on this game over the last 5 years.

	So, you are on your AC build and on your 50th run of Titan trying to get that Chattering Ring. It finally drops to a cleric. You are thinking "Alright, the party is full of barbarians, clerics and wizards... I'm sure to get this!" You even pee a little in excitement. Then the cleric says "Alright! Now I can finish crafting that Greater Halfling Bane club I've been drooling over since they added this recipte" And he takes the ring!

It's the death of pugs and non-channel raids. It is also long term bad mojo for the game in general. If the community turns into a bunch of greedy whores that will turn off new members in the long run.
