716 quality synthesis!

[User201109011315]

I won't be playing those games, because you'll be playing them too. I like said it's GW2 for me. Besides I wouldn't have to move, if XIV moving towards what those other games are doing in regards to crafting.

Anyway even though you have to balance your durability and quality, it was still based on a random number generator. I rather know if I have 700 quality or 1000 quality that I'm gonna have a +3 item instead of it being randomly determined. And if less useful or rare items are made from crafting, then so be it.

But if it was purely quality, then durability management wouldn't be required. And hence crafting would be simplified. (which is what is happening). Durability was needed to ensure you had enough touchup chances. Without this inherent randomness, the crafting system would lose an entire dimension of skill (durability management).

Also, if you needed 700 quality to ensure a +3 for example, then the only way to get a +3 finished item would be using Clean Slate or something. So LW would be overpowered/required craft.

There are so many issues that arise from being so shortsighted like that. And those are just the most obvious ones.

(Gosh, I can't believe people liked your post. And people accuse ME of not playing the game, lol, that is too rich.)

I never said it would be purely quality, durability will still have a play. I meant if my quality was over 700 I would automatically get a HQ item. I never said anything about taking durability out. If you managed to keep your durability from reaching 0 and some how got your quality to 700, you should get a HQ item. Also I would like a simplified crafting system, so I have no problems with that.
