The issue is Star recipes aren't hard.

Like your earlier example of the entire game being casual and laid back except for Extreme, Savage and Ultimate, you'd expect the entire crafting experience to be casual and laid back with the exception of 2, 3 and 4 star crafts. Which would be great.

However, the entirety of crafting is casual and laid back with no exception right now. 2 star crafts are simple macros requiring budget melds and the materials are highly accessible. You can very easily go from fresh lv80 DoH to having made your own fully melded Facet set in under a week.

Give it time.

They probably didn't want to dump hard endgame crafts in the same patch as the huge sweeping changes, they probably wanted to give crafters time to adjust before new, harder content comes out.

Yoshi-P talked like they had things planned. They never said that current crafts would be difficult. I took what he said to mean that in the future, there would be NEW stuff coming out that would require actually knowing how to craft instead of copying and pasting macros.

EDIT: That, and maybe they wanted to give new fresh 80s a chance to catch up with the established players. Either/or. I could see both being logical reasons they decided to wait before dumping this new endgame crafting on us. Either way, the response is the same: We need to give them some time and see what happens in the next major patch.

If 5.2 comes out and all the crafts are still easy, then okay. You have a point. They need to add some harder stuff.
