What part wasn't terrible? The weekly red scrip cap? The 4 hrs it took to get the needed things for two different mats -- this isn't counting all the other mats from normal to legendary. How you could only make 1 or 2 things per week? That you could only change specialists 1 a week at the cost of a piece of gear? Them were the good ol' days.

ALC specialist was worthless for most of HW. The reason why every crafted gear needs something from ALC is because of that. People complained that ALC and CUL were worthless specialists and they fixed that when the ironworks gear came out.

I get where you're coming from. I craft and sell a set of crafting and gathering gear each day, when I'm not lazy. I make fibers in bulk. I understand how much time it takes to do this. I just don't think we're in such dire straights. It's the best we've ever had it since ARR. Let's agree to disagree? :] Who knows, maybe they'll make the current specialist crafts regular recipes as they did with the other 2 star stuff. *fingers crossed* And we get new recipes in a day or two. YAY!
