Amount of HQ items RIDONCULOUS!

[ChrysaorUSon]

I just wanted to say I have been crafting a lot lately and have seen a mass amount of HQ weapons, armor, food etc being made, its like it is to easy to make. So now the AH is packed or should I say crammed full of HQ items from everyone SE. I like HQ items, but you are making it way to easy for the gamer to make these. Example: Iron plates or Heavy Iron Gauntlets-I can make these HQ every single time, and it is sooooo easy to HQ them, to easy if you ask me. Make it a challenge and not so darn easy to make!

This was the point of the crafting system to make HQ not so random. Once you have the abilities/gear and know the pattern HQ is easy it is supposed to be.

I think the system in 1.23 was good. It was not so random like at the beginning of the game, but still a bit random to get a HQ not too easy.
In 1.23 the chance for HQ started to raise after the quality reached 300. 0% chance for HQ if quality was 299 or lower, 1% chance for HQ if quality was 300.
It was no problem to get HQ if all mats were HQ, but the difficulty for HQ increased with each NQ mat and it was very risky to try a HQ craft with only NQ mats.
All mats NQ started with quality 0, all mats HQ started with quality 500. You needed quality 1000 for 100% HQ chance.

Yeah, the fact that you can pretty much guarantee HQ on top tier items is a little silly.

To be fair, it requires a lot of work to be able to get to that point. Most players will never be able to achieve that.

You can actually guarantee a 100% sucsess rate rather easilly, with the right gear and abillities.

Even with max stats and all abilities you can't guarantee HQ with absolute certainty.

Why would anyone care about getting HQ materials when they have 0 chance to fail the gear synth? being able to HQ 40 dura items is useless.

Yeah, the fact that you can pretty much guarantee HQ on top tier items is a little silly.

Little silly is to run WP 20x + to even get the material for the item. I think the rate to create HQ is fair enough when you have melded gear.

They need to add the RNG back to both crafting and gathering.

Without it there is simply no rarety in market. One of the issues with everything crashing atm.

Anyone can in about 3 days with leves and alittle money get crafts high enough to 100% hq almost everything. The sad part is they can get 3-4 crafts to cap without even crafting.

I know, it saddens me to see this, how so many ppl can do this quickly. That is what I mean by SE has made it to easy for the player in crafting as well as jobs. I want a darn CHALLENGE SE! I mean, you shouldn't be having ppl undercut you everyday because they can all do HQ to, it should be special to HQ something. YOu should be like, "Holy shit batman I just HQ that woohoo!"

You want a challenge? Try HQing an item that's 5 levels above you when you're level 20-30 with NQ mats. Not so easy. The reality is that they don't. I put HQ items on the AH and I'm the only HQ item. There are plenty of middle-tier items that have plenty of space for HQ competition.
