HQ-synth block?

My goldsmithing main char hasnt been able to do a single t1 voodoo synth for 2 months. I am currently 0/75ish on Voodoo Cuirass/Voodoo Handschuhs. Something is seriously wrong here. I can hq all other synths at normal rate and i know how to do this. I've done several sets for pld friends. How do i check this. I lost 3-400 million gil on this and am now broke (22 mill left). I am beginning to wonder if i been blocked by a GM or something after i got banned from forums here for a week. I cant see any other reason. I ruled out bad luck completely with this many fails.
