Evolution of Crafting: Crafting "Signatures"

You are right. I just looked it up on the MB and I guess the reason some items don't have names listed is because they weren't made by anyone; they were dungeon drops or venture rewards. But yeah, even NQ items have names listed if they were crafted by someone. But my suggestion still stands that it would be nice to have this feature more prominently displayed.

While I think all of this is very silly anyway, a more practical point is: there are millions of characters in this game, and max gear/omnicrafting/specialist/whatever you feel necessary to distinguish people who have the "right" to apply such signatures is easy to gain. There's no way they can implement any kind of freeform "signature" to this, and even if they were able to give you a limited number of alternative animations or other methods of distinguishing the items, you'd still have hundreds if not thousands of players on each server with the same one (as with FC logos). The only thing that is unique is the playername, and I really wouldn't want to see "Moist Harmonica" (you laugh, but I've seen them) or whatever the crafter's name is flashing across my character any time I consumed an item, or stitched onto my gear.

It's not like SE cares overmuch of consumable animations anyway, apparently my character drinks tea out of a flask and all foodstuffs look like muffins.

In my opinion they might as well just get rid of the existing signatures on items altogether. It just seems like a waste of storage space they could have used to give us more inventory slots instead.

A lot of times they end up bugged out from transfers and the like and just say Obtaining Signature anyway.

One of our main crafters on Exodus is actually Obtaining Signature. I've seen them gathering before, and have quite a few bits of gear crafted by them. It amuses me right up there with Viewing Cutscene.
