First off, that person was not seeking help when it came to actually learning how to craft. All he wanted was a rotation. A rotation I did not feel comfortable giving out because he refused to share his cross class skills and stats. I'm not going to write out a rotation and then see a reply saying "I don't have that ability". It would have been a waste of my time and his time.
2.) That calculator was actually offered to me as a small wee craftling. I use that calculator to this day to make sure I can have the most successful synth. YET, I still put in the time to read guides and my tooltips. If the calculator gave me a rotation I would look at the skills description, learning why the calculator thought this was the best way to go. So I have to disagree when you say the calculator doesn't help newbies.
