redscrip adjustment is coming. lets rejoice!

May have been a little too late for me. I cancelled the auto-renewal on my sub a week or so ago mainly because the whole scrips thing was so awful. That made me look at the game as a whole, and came to the realisation that I may just be done. Makes me sad because I have played since early access of ARR and made some lovely friends on my server. I don't raid (don't even like dungeons much), so crafting and gathering while chatting with friends was the game for me. Watching the ET clock and tabbing to a website to remember what I'm supposed to be gathering - not fun.

I was never an early adopter of any of the crafting stuff. I was happy to let other people do that and I would tip well if I needed a crafter to make me stuff. But, I always knew I would get to that next level eventually. Daily or weekly lockouts on stuff means I have missed out completely on that day/week, so eventually gets further away.

As someone who has been a "hardcore" omnicrafter since early in 2.0 I can say that you're not the only person who feels this way. I could see myself doing the weekly, but at this point I'm not too sure why I would want to because it isn't fun anymore. There's nothing fun about feeling forced to meet certain requirements each week. If anything crafting should be about setting your own goals within the system and not ones that the devs have decided for you.
