Price fluctuation is a thing you know. You're not guaranteed to sell those mats at the same price you paid.

True, you might make money, you might lose. Wow, risk in a game, imagine that. But opportunity cost is a thing, too, you know.

Furthermore, planning ahead only works if you've set aside a specific period to craft. A lot of people decide to do it on the fly.

Nonsense. I have no idea when I'm going to craft new gear to get my gatherer retainers to 1150 gathering, but I know I'm going to, and I know what mats I'll need to do so, so I've planned ahead without any concept of a "specific period." My retainers are out gathering those mats even as I write this. They are also restocking any mats I use that I am getting low on, even though I may not actually need, say, Kudzu root, any time soon. I might be wasting a few ventures, but I don't care.

My post was a direct response to your accusation buffing drop rates somehow "dumbs down" crafting. And you've dodged it every single reply thereafter.

And now you're just making things up. I made no such accusation.

Since you're so much smarter. It should be a simple answer, non?

Whether I'm smarter or not, at least I'm not incoherent. You haven't presented a question, so what is there supposed to be a simple answer too, exactly?

Perhaps the same as passive aggressive personal attacks? I find rather amusing you take offense to someone supposedly taking a jab at you but have no qualms doing it yourself.

You don't see the difference between criticizing a post and insulting the person who posted it?
Sad.
