Unjustified "fail @ 100%" synths -- a suggested tweak

[Judge_Xero]

Why are people trying so hard to nickel and dime Square out of fractions of remainders and 1% of progress....this is crazy. No matter how many of these tiny things they give you...whether it's success at 0 durability versus 1 durability or if they essentially pro-rate you durability for durability not used to get to 100% complete...there's always going to be a cutoff.

The changes will just make you grow bolder in pushing a synth you already pushed too much, so it's a futile patch. If you are at 97% progress with 4 durability left, you're boned. Don't get to that point and even expect success. Don't let that 97% comlete fool you. You, in fact, were not that successful at this synth if you find yourself in that situation. It's probably time to find an easier synth or just straight accept the fact that you will fail some.

97% complete with 20-30 durability left=good
97% complete with 1-10 durability left=you didn't actually do very well in the entire process.
You can't even argue that you "practically finished it" if in fact 7 times out of 10 you would actually fail.

Moral of the story is instead of asking for a nickel and dime break, don't leave home without enough change to begin with.

If I could double like this post I would. You always seem to beat me to the punch on repsonding Peregrine. (You type what I was thinking as I read the other posts)

If you aren't first, then you are last. A fail is a fail. Just get better at crafting and stop wasting mats and other peoples time with complaining.

(I'd like to mention that even if you get an unstable element 3 times in a row during a difficult synth (6-8 ranks above, you can still complete the synth with proper timings and skills)
