I hope this makes it clearer for SE how blatantly imbalanced the desynth system is. It's totally biased toward goldsmith (which already has the advantage of being easy to level) and really craps on high-material-count crafts like ARM, CUL, WVR, and LTW. This would be fine if it wasn't such a huge component in progressing as a craftsman.
Even players who have every craft at 50 probably have one or two that they like more or have better geared (unless they're max-melded on everything, in which case good job!) If we all want to be efficient, we're forced to all lump into Goldsmith like soulless drones with no individuality. Oh, thank goodness we can level two others to 100! Too bad they're ridiculously expensive! Many of us won't bother passing 60!
I like that we can desynth our useless crap now. I really do. I just hope this particular version of the system isn't required for upcoming ilvl boosts in future patches.
