4.05 crafting disappointment

[Nezerius]

Worst of all, all the new recipes are items that are just re-skinned gear sets from World of Darkness...

Might be the worst for you, but I find it to be the best thing. Now I'll be able to obtain the dyeable version of the WoD gear.

I dunno how you guys feel. But I am really bored... by the same rotations and boring gear appearances. All I felt was being punished by the gil I spent on overmelds...

The latter half of HW made it pretty clear that reaching the min requirement for recipes would allow for a rather straightforward rotation to HQ it, so I'm not sure why this surprises you.

What was I looking for? Well, I don't think I could ask for really difficult items yet. But at least give us something prettier... rather than some re-skins... I felt being ripped off by the overmelds.

Again, I'm sure there's many people who have been wanting dyeable WoD gear for quite a while now.

And the fact that I didn't even acquire a single yellow scrip gear or tool, and still able to macro all those 2 star... well, just boring.

That's because the white lvl 70 gear is only 10 ilvls below the yellow scrip gear, just like the first set of red scrip gear was only 10 ilvls above the crafted AF sets.

The new crafting skills represent some new possibilities... I think they could have opened some exciting new avenues in the world of crafting for us. Maybe it's just not the time yet? Until then, can't we have some prettier glamor gear for now to keep us happy? You know, shiny weapons? Sexy clothing? Sassy boots & gloves? etc.? (or the other way around... sexy weapons and shiny clothing would have been fine too)

They tried experimenting with crafting at the start of 3.0, and completely destroyed the DoH playerbase. And didn't they add two glamour sets up to this point? The Taoist stuff and the Ao Dai stuff.
