IF ya got money

[Snugglebutt]

You have made half a dozen threads whining about this and all containing the same hyperbole, melodrama and click baiting. Grow up already and stop acting like a petulant child. I'm all for actual reasonable and rational debate but at this stage all your really offering is click bait format threads filled with whining and ranting while making crap up to suit your agenda. The sort of nonsense I already responded to in your other click bait style whining and ranting thread.

If you do not want to craft anymore or do not personally see the benefit then feel free to stop crafting, I can assure you most people will continue to craft and many will continue to enjoy it even if you do not. SE may make some minor adjustments over time in regards to caps and cost of materials, they will also over time add more recipes...all these things they would do anyways as they always have but if you believe for one second in your own propaganda then maybe crafting isn't for you anymore.

Dear 'Snugglebutt" ....... I am 32 years old, and you seem really angry. Go pick whatever poison you are into and use it to calm down. Or take your medication.

I am 32 years old...

...and yet you act like a five year old throwing his toys out the pram. Your not adding much to discussions about crafting at this stage, your just making click bait style thread titles filled with melodrama, hyperbole and propaganda.

...Fair point...

Still, there's 5 people in my FC who have most of their crafters at 58+, and both MIN/BTN at 60 w/ gear. 2 of them were dedicated 4 Star Omnicrafters by the end of 2.5. They all say the same thing, they'll gradually get everything up to 60, get HQ cross-class gear, probably meld the guaranteed slots, maybe do 1-2 cheap overmelds to make the current recipes easier to HQ from NQ, and thats it.
Beyond that they all say that they dont have time for Red Scrips.

They are not super rich, I think the richest one we have has 18M. But they, we, never really had to be. We're primarily raiders, and we work during the day. For the most part we craft raid supplies, the occasional set of leveling gear, and for fun, not for money.
Now the fun aspect of it is kind of gone, which is a shame. So we will continue to get our crafters to 60, I've got 3 at 60 atm and MIN, so Im behind the curve, and we will make sub 60 foods, and the old X-pots, and life will go on.

Its not like these changes to crafting progression ruined the game for us, but it is a bit sad that "worthwhile" crafting progression ends shortly after you hit 60. I am sure that soon SE will introduce new foods and pots and so forth that will magically be "required" for raiding and will be 3 star recipes demanding full Red Scrip gear in order to make crafting "relevant again"... but we'll make it through somehow.

...and you would be wrong. Just because my characters on this account are still in the process of grinding levels does not mean I am incapable of listening to my friends who are doing it, reading how it works and understanding the system or unlike some here whom lack common sense.

for all to see, here is the troll who has no crafts leveled posting this nonsense cheerleading for the scrip system;

here is me:

I rest my case that this person is merely blathering whatever comes to mind (akin to either a pathologically lying narcissist or, a person doing this for their own amusement aka 'troll')

Yet again you show your lack of common sense. You link my bard when I have multiple characters and my bard is not my crafter. Your lack of attention to detail and your apparent incompetence is really showing. It is either incompetence or your just continuing your trend of spreading misinformation in order to progress your propaganda just like you have with half the things you have said on the topic. You use fallacies and hyperbole in order to promote your beliefs and your stance.

I think his point is still pretty valid though

Have you any idea what just happened? Every crafter I know of , not to mention not a positive post here..... they don't like this.. I posted a suggestion so everyone either take that suggestion or don't. look at the big picture here and the amount of time they expect put in (not to mention money) and say "Can this work?" later...
