The System is working as intented and i cant blame SE for anything being wrong. Of course you can get unlucky and bust at 99% and bust afterwards at Double-down, but that is just bad luck. It also can happen the other way around when you HQ Stuff at 1%, so would people complain at that point? No they wont. 99% are 99% and not 100%... easy enough, no?

Just an example:

For Darksteel Nuggets i mine mainly HQ Mats and synth them to 85%-90%. Out of 100 Synths i get around 90 HQ-Nuggets. The other 10 are most likely busted with Double down, while 10 more worked out with Double down, which brings me to a 90/100 and a 90% HQ-Rate.
The base stats have very little impact, hell crafters can't even allocate points like DoW/DoM. Pretty sure all they do is add like 1-2 quality gain per 100 of the stat or something stupid like that. They don't help with success rate of synths. I agree that stacking Craft/MCraft does not seem to give me the results i would expect, i still fail like i never increased it.
