    I just wish it was faster. I wouldn't even mind if they made it so you got 0 exp from quick synth... And I don't mean ridiculously faster either, just lower the time delay in between. Why call it quick synth if it's not quick?

    Same here, 50 and geared for all crafts, but i buy my NQ 1 star mats (twintreads, nuggets etc) from other players pre-made, due to the time it takes to make a stack.

    so using a third party program, that can click the mouse to chose materials, and start the synth, then click the buttons you want, and repeat the process 100 or 1000 times.
    In order to get 100% HQ items, instead of NQ like you do with quicksynth, is not cheaing? if that is the case then ill better look for a macro program.
    but im 100% sure that you are wrong, can anyone confirm this either way?

    They mean in game macros, which are absolutely not cheating. The external ones are grey areas at best.

    3rd party macro are cheating, but that is a totally separate issue.

    im aware that the ingame macros are not cheating
    but unless i have missed something, you cant make them repeat themselves, so you wont be able to make 100 HQ items using the ingame macro, unless you sit there and click 100 times, or have i missed something with the ingame macros?
    the way i thought the ingame macros worked, i would have to chose materials every time, click synth every time, and then start the macro to do the actual crafting.
    which would only give me one HQ item, so kinda pointless in my opinion, if i have to sit there for all 100 items, i can do the few clicks the macro does aswell, no problem.

    i suspected that third party macros where cheating, which is why i dont have one, ill just click the 100 times myself, since i have nothing better to do with my time
    but i wish games would allow better ingame macro's, what about all the people with programmable G14's, or whatever they are called, is that cheating aswell?

    to long
    anyway to get back on topic=p
    they should improve the quicksynth, for items that are so far below your crafting skill, that it would be impossible to not get HQ, if you did the craft yourself.
    That would lessen the advantage, that the third party macro cheaters have

    I do agree with you and I would say 3rd party programmable keys are against the ToS too, I have a keyboard with keys that allow this, but do not use them.

    If they were used just as macro's, i.e. the play still needs to press them, then I would not call it cheating, but a grey area at least.

    Hmm I didn't know there are third party macro things. Im PS3 thought you meant just in game macros.
