Vanity System Requiring Crafters? What Kind of Joke is This?

[Alexander_Dragonfang]

Vanity through crafting is maybe the best notice of the patch.

I just hope materials be costly and service hard to make, with a big failure chance, so people will need to invest in the markets and pay properly to crafters for each piece they want to be "vanity". It would be a great plus for crafting, besides that, now that we are into, dye system should also be made by crafters and crafters alone.

Why do I even bother reading these forums. ALL PEOPLE DO IS B**** B**** B****

Make friends, jesus Christ. This isn't a solo MMO

Whaaa? Where did you hear this from? I thought they were just saying you could make vanity only gear by crafting.

[ItzKris]

I really wish they would give us more details to this.

Well they would but as of right now there isn't a Friend Finder system in place to help you out. I believe they should get to work on this immediately, how else do they expect people to find friends!?

Missed the feed of this, so is the vanity going to be like Terra (vanity slot) or like WoW (transmog)?

They've said we won't have vanity slots so most are assuming it will be more akin to the transmog system.

My guess is that EITHER crafters will be able to make and sell special skins to use in transmogs or they will be able to craft some kind of catalyst necessary for transmogs. All we actually know though is that crafters make 'glamours' and SE gave no explanation of what purpose these things will serve so the OP's post is all kinds of silly.

Not even a believable troll post.

People been saying that the economy stinks. If they add a catalyst for each crafting class, All crafters will benefit from this. It will put "some" spark into the economy, which I will agree is much needed.

x+y=z x= original gear y=class specific catalyst z= New gear from vanity.

Example:

1) Head gear (x) needs "armorer catalyst" (y) to form (z) new head gear.
2) Body gear (x) needs "weaver catalyst" (y) to form (z) new body gear.

If it's something like this, every crafter class (most) will benefit from this.

gear will be free anyways people have FC's. only the first few days will make money till theres billions of everything for sell. just like the lv50 DOH & DOL gear. doubt this will fix the economy.

alot of people have atleat one lvl50 craft now & on legacy servers alot have all lv50.

Not totally fix, but it's a start in the right direction. because with the mindset you described ( Gear will be free based on the FC), the economy will never will be truly fixed. Also, not all FC have multiple crafting classes leveled. Small FCs will most likely hit this wall. There are more Small FCs then there is big. Also, even in a big FC's there will be people that want to earn money so they still charge FC's even at a discounted rate.

Personally I think it's a step in the right direction in fixing the economy but it doesn't fix the overall problem.

Edit: What makes a stable economy?

If I can describe it in one word, that word would be "balance".

How can they fix undercutting in terms of crafters? Make at least 1 part of a rare recipe hard to get.
How can they fix undercutting in terms of Gathering? Well that one can be tricky

The thing here is there is a fine line between what SE can do and what is out of their control. Some things like making items rare to get SE can do. What is out of their control is how the players themselves price them. The more players to do gathering/crafting the more items of that nature will turn up in the market boards which will undercut.

Making a stable economy is hard to do when most of it is player related.
