I don't see much of a day 1 challenge sadly. I already have my very-safe-estimate macro ready to go 1-100% and a stack of Chili Crab and Syrup standing by, so it's really just a case of doing a few rounds of the timed nodes, groundwork the mats and clicking go.

Sales are not going to be that great either, I'm surprised people have forgotten last set. Crafting is easy so most statics have at least 4+ players prepped, ready to go and far more raiders are self-sufficient.
Bots were able to crack last seasons Expert crafts on release and have had melded Aesthete sets for months so they will be able to churn out pieces from the start. I predict prices will have crashed before a week is over.

I'd be fine with that.
