Patient touch and steady hands

While five thousand is a smaller sample size than the millions that take place server wide, it certainly seems like a large enough sample that you should be seeing results closer than 61.6%. I think this would be enough evidence to justify a bug report asking SE to look into the issue. I'd recommend posting your suspicion, how you and your friends tested it, and the results you got to the In-Game Bugs forum.

(p.s. If you do submit it there, be sure to use the bug reporting template described in the "Welcome to the 'In-Game Bugs' Forum!" sticky post. You can put "not applicable" on fields that don't pertain to the issue, but if you don't list things according to the template fields, they won't accept the report to look into it.)

The issue I have with bug reporting when it comes to the crafting system % of success is, at least in my personal experience of playing since beta, you will always get the same reply. It's working as intended. Which has led me to assume it was intended to be this bad. In other words it's almost completely pointless to submit a bug report alone. Only when SE has thousands of bug reports will they take it seriously and unfortunately you can't get more then 4 people to agree on what color the sky is much less what is or is not broken.
