Sneaky HQ trade leve nerf

[Pinworms]

Ah crap seriously SE? You guys said the 200% bonus xp for turning in HQ items on trade craft levee was working as intended... Now your decreasing them and slipping it into 2.1 without even mentioning it to advoid backlash flare ups...

they say a lot of things then turn around and do something completely different.

i imagine it's something along the lines of "oh the community brought it up. what? people are actually using it? welp guess we'll have to fix that"

[Pinworms]

The least they could do is tell us how much they are nerfing it. If it's like 10% then w/e, however, anything more would be substantial. Frankly I think it's BS to say one thing and do another AND do it without warning or justification. what SE? Too many people have level 50 crafts now just like too many people have a "relic"?

Well they gotta make things worse so we'll keep playing. Geez don't you guys know anything!

They are also boosting the amount of xp from completing tradequest leves. This change may be to keep rewards in line with what they currently are. Otherwise, it would have been an overall increase over what we are already getting.

That would mean you'd expect people to actually understand everything they're reading in the patch notes, and not make rash decisions. Too much to expect from the fine people in this forum, though!

This is how I understood it as well. If they were to buff the base exp for tradecraft leves while leaving the HQ bonus alone, leve grinding would be even more ridiculous than it is already. This is a good way to make doing normal hand ins worthwhile without adversely affecting HQs.

I knew it was too good to be true. When you can turn in one L35 leve and get over 90k exp....ya. So glad I finished capping all my crafts to l50 last week.

looks like i have to get my last craft to 50 within the next couple of days e.e...

I was helping crafters to level in my FC by HQ'ing items at cost which they could use to level. Not any more. No point.
