For those who don`t get the problem with red scrips...

No one will come ask me to craft a 2 star item when the mats cost 300 million.

Would you even want to attempt to craft it in the first place?
I assume you factor in a botched craft when weighing up crafting something for someone or is that just me?
I sure as hell wouldn't want to craft something for someone that I couldn't replace with relative ease if I failed to HQ for whatever reason.

I would never botch the craft, I would just go for NQ and lower the fee. However with 2 stars, if you fail to HQ you've got an item equal to the 1 star HQ version meaning the item is as good as destroyed anyway.

That's what I meant by a botch, NQ is useless IMO with very few exceptions.
The amount of times I've gotten NQ items from quest rewards and they have been worse than my lower ilvl HQ gear pretty much engrained the fact that if you do not HQ you wasted the mats like you say.
