HW didn't add this penalty to quality gain when a recipe is above a character's level, meaning a lvl 50 was still able to craft a lvl 50 4-star recipe at the difficulty it was before HW.
Sure, just leveling a craft by 1 level to remove this penalty, but that doesn't leave the fact that this change made these recipes harder than intended.
