You’ve been an OG crafters since ARR like some of us, so I know you miss the old difficulty and the old sense of accomplishment you received from completing those hard recipes. And don’t get me started on Lucis lol.

Anyways, point is, why not call it out? As seen with the thread, you clearly agree that the crafting has gotten too easy, and I’m sure you realize these expert recipes aren’t looking too promising. Just wanted to know your take on the matter. I’ve just found it strange such a small amount of vet crafters choose to call that stuff out. Going to assume it’s due to being afraid of backlash. But like they say, to make a change, even a small one, you have to deal with haters.
I know we dont see eye to eye Nondrolone but yes please vent, let SE know too either make Expert recipes harder then a brick *whistles* house or up crafting difficulty. I would aim for the Expert recipes since they are aimed at the hardcore community, tell them what you want and expect. I am causal crafter but if you feel content aimed at you is not measuring up then feel free to speak loudly. If their intent is for starred gear too be for causals then Expert better be full on hardcore balls to the wall difficult.
