4 Star Master Books - Completely frustrating and unfun.

Crafting 3/4* is in a good place. I heard rumors about a 'token' system for crafter gear come 3.0.. now if that is the gate that prevents you from getting all crafts to be capable of the latest synths, THAT is a real problem.

I'm sorry, but I cannot let this comment stand unanswered. You seem to be under the (false) impression that NA players are somehow looking for "handouts". I, speaking only for myself, simply want our abilities to not be upstaged by luck. Extreme RNG gating is a cheap and cynical way of enforcing rarity, in my opinion, that is used by money-grabbing companies like King and Zynga. If wanting challenging content to be fair and not cheap is a characteristic of North American players, then I offer no apologies for that.

It isn't extreme RNG when many crafters are able to make stuff with high reliability. A prudent crafter will do ample research, play with simulators, then practice on cheap items to get better. These all seem to be things you don't do, which is why you may feel it is "extreme RNG".

i try with putty atm, i got 50/50 HQ, depend of what luck i get, i want a better rate to start these master book or the off hand tools
it force you to play against the rng, i am wanna be sure before i can get into it, but it seem to me without a good luck with you, you will waste some demi materia III

The idea behind the the Master 2s is basically using Reclaim until you get good RNG. The problem is that Reclaim can still fail and even when it does succeed it consumes the shards/crystals/clusters. The skill portion of this is basically knowing when to Reclaim and when you can fish for a decent success rate.

i can get the 11 stacks with good rng, i don't often get enough CP, i think i need to not pop any tot during the wast not II, by doing that i can hasty touch 11 times, the error is certainly to not refresh Confort zone during the wast not II, it would let me have 10 hasty touch (i just don't need any miss to have the 11 stacks in that case)
i think this craft make people learn more about crafting,
but i can understand why people don't like this, rng on very expensive craft, i can imagine guys reclaim item and loose anyway X times in a raw just by be not lucky

You need to not use WN2 for starters...

What's wrong with WNII?

Loss of utility. I guess it could be fit into a hasty touch macro, but it adds too much durability for any 100% success macro with current CP limitations.

In terms of durability added isn't it more CP efficient than WNI or doing a 2nd MMII, assuming of course you aren't taking TotT procs during it? I'm talking purely in terms of the Master II turn-ins.

Why would you not be taking ToT procs during it?
