WHY WHY WHY!!

Didnt think you could get a workshop in a personal home?

you can't but there's still people out there in one man free company's.

We divvy up the work in ours each stage. People crank out what items they can - that way it spreads the labor around and saves us money since we're not just buying crap off the MB.

The entire thing is a FC effort at stage 2. We needed 728 cokes for the stage 2 darksteel plates. Everyone in the FC cashed in their GC seals to get ready for that. We've all been mining Darksteel whenever we're free and the node is up.

Getting 4 people together to push the button is the least of our troubles.

This is the reason I lost my trust with SE's "Please look forward to it"
I was supermuch looking forward to it, but since my fc has 6 active members and all with different timezones it's hard to put 4 together.
And asking a random person into my house is weird to me.

This was one of the things I was most excited about since most of my members prefer crafting to combat, and I only like gathering, so we would work together. But now we have managed to build like one upgrade or so because its hard to have people online at the same time.

Please just change it and let all of us HAVE FUN instead of GATING us behind EVERYTHING.

I'm sorry this just makes me sad and angry

This is pretty much my issue... there are about 10 of us, if i make the last handin and 4 are offline and 3 in a dung we are stuck.

I've been told all the crafter don't even have to be in your fc. We have a large fc and getting 4 crafter is easy for us but I would recommend trying it.

[Velckezar]

They can be any level, so I think it's not too hard.

[Shneibel]

Personally I'm glad that we finally have something that crafters can work together on.

if you mean work together like make a group and watch a cs...

So? If someone wants to do solo a thing that was balanced around the idea of 10, 20, or more people working together, why should they be stone walled against getting it done? In AoC you could build entire cities for you guild. It required hundreds and thousands of materials, people with good skill levels in crafting professions, etc. etc. Thousands of hour of time spread across a group to make it maybe 10 per person. But there were people who, as a challenge, or just to say they did, put in those thousands of hours themselves, worked the marketboard as much as possible to get materials faster without breaking the bank, bartered, traded, and otherwise worked themselves silly to do, alone, what would normally take a full guild.

And I'm not sure why that's not a valid style of play.

Are you also going to say they should require 8 people in undersized parties so no one can duo coil raids (which folks have been doing)? Are you going to go after the summoners who would solo 1-50 leveling dungeons by going in with three friends who would then agree to leave and/or sit at the start?

It's a game. It's all valid. It's already designed to take a metric crapton of materials. Enough that doing it with a single person (or even a four person) FC would be incredibly time consuming and require an inordinate amount of effort. There's absolutely no reason to force you to haul in 3 other people for the final turn in every time. It's already obviously set up to vastly favor large FCs that can devote a lot of resources to it.

Personally a bit bummed it's just having 4 people is the only requirement they can be lvl 1 crafters for all the game cares.

That's incorrect. They have to be at least level 50, and some require higher than that.

Our current project requires a level 52 leatherworker.

Must be beyond the base airship as we often had nothing but lvl 1 crafters advancing our ship.
