You seem very preoccupied with what people deserve based on some random list of things you require them to have done. It sounds like someone who's only spent 500 hours on blacksmith is much less deserving than someone who's spent that an 200 hours mining, huh?

Perhaps once you've completed your 20,000th iron nugget synth the game should only give you +3 iron nuggets from then on because, hey, you deserve it, right?

Once you start getting into the topics of 'deserve' and 'random smiths', the amount of bias in your comments pretty much guarantees that anything you are putting in on the matter is going to be slanted toward yourself-as-primary-benefactor. Honestly, it sounds like you're just miffed that someone who might play slightly less than you made something you haven't been able to.

Your mind ability is fairly low. You don't have clothcraft leveled, so obviously you don't have the mind to quality ability. Your alchemy isn't leveled, so obviously you don't have hand of the gods. These are all things that make HQ'ing nuggets incredibly easier and possibly things that these 'less deserving' smiths have gone out and done to make it easier to create the items you are saying they don't deserve.
