the whole process of getting hq mats is alot more involved than getting a crystal is and it isn't just given to you. i've seen enough of the give me this for nothing on these forums to think i am in a daycare center and not an adult community. i'd prefer to stay the way it is to get the hq materials than to rely on just getting a crystal and remove them. it gets rid of the only thing that is not just standard spam for crafters.
Well, I am not actually asking to recieve plus 1 crystals any way differently than how you get plus one materials now. They would still be predominantly gathered items. You get shards and whole crystals now from gathering, so its actually not different at all. I even say in my post I am on the fence with how they would need to go about making them a craftable item, but at no point do I suggest having one +1 crystal equal 100 quality. In my opinion those formulas would need to be worked out as to reflect roughly what they are now. Obviously plus 1 shards would give much less of a quality bonus than a plus one whole crystal. At no point in time am I asking for them to GIVE me anything, all this would do is rework a system as to be as it is now but less cumbersome. They could still easily work it so you couldnt gather plus 1 crystals all in the same spot, just as it is now with gathering plus 1 items.
