imo, I am glad SE made these quests hard for crafters as you climb the ranks... I am a fully melded 3 star crafter and breeze through these. It feels like I am being "rewarded" for my time spent achieving my crafter's level. This Friday I will be riding my new mount!

Sorry for everyone complaining about the difficulty but, really? You all know the solution. Level your crafter... After all, these are crafting related quests.
