Thread: 5.1 Crafting Feedback Thread

If there's any recommendations on games with a bit more challenge and hard work I'm open to them. I'm in the same boat, my motivation just fizzled and I haven't been bothered to log on much in the last month.
I personally don't want the game dead, It has potential and I'll have nothing to do with Blizzard, WoW is a terrible game now. But as amazing as ShB started out, it's gradually leeched my motivation to play. Nothing feels worth doing here.

I have no hope for this patch. We've been fed the same "wait and see, it'll get better" ever since 5.0 where we breezed to lv80 effortlessly in lv70 gear. It's next year and we're coming up to 5.2 now. The patch is coming from the same development team who has been consistently simplifying everything to do with crafting all expansion. Expecting a miracle is unrealistic. Like I said before, they can't revamp crafting to require moderate effort again because the damage is done. There'd be uproar from players who are now used to sailing from 1-80 in a day or two from simple skybuilder crafts.
Even if Ishgard crafts are challenging, it's not max level crafting. It's a niche bit of side content and leaderboards have very limited slots.

You do realize if anyone is giving away items due to quitting, we'll give them to friends and FC who deserve them, not forum trolls.

Other people enjoying it?

Look at this forum. Go merely 4 topics down from this one and the last post on it is over 3 weeks old. The 5th topic on the front page. This is after they handed crafting over to the entire casual player-base and tried to include everyone. Where's the interest? Where are the hundreds of new crafters with questions and feedback and discussion on the new abilities and things they made and rotations?

Great you're enjoying it, but it's dead. It's just fact.
