Nearly every server has a handful or more crafters with not only 50 in every craft, but also the guild abilities/traits as well.

The cold hard truth is that the people complaining about this patch were making out like Gil mongers from abusing the supply and demand.

Players bowed down to the asinine over inflated prices because there was nothing they could do about it since the crafters were monopolizing every facet of the market with their Gil greedy talons.

Now that SE is potentially balancing this issue, crafters are crying "unfair" because the control is swinging more towards the buyers choice.

I agree crafting HQ +3 gear is a retarded activity, the time spent to create an HQ +3 lvl 50 synth weapon is astronomical. To give a decent shot at a +3 you need all +3 (maybe some +2 mats) You need 300+ quality and then its still a 10%'ish chance (for weapons and certain gear) To get +3 mats like leather straps, ingots etc you have say 1% chance or less even with 300+ quality.

I have made over 100 banneret lances and have a total of 4 +2's and 1 +3. The time used in this process is easily in the hundreds of hours. (don't believe me see how long it takes to make 12 +3 brass plates).

I strongly think that the only reason we have these +3 goals is because we had nothing else to do in game for 6months strait. The adjustment of a simpler HQ system is very important, many players still have no idea what HQ means in this game or what a star means...

No you don't. Somewhere around 200 quality is enough to +3. I made a +3 oak bow with 210 quality, I've made a +3 crab bow with 246. You don't need to spam +3 plates to have a chance.
