Only after that shocking period, then I started to fret, and tried to think what I could do to amend the situation. >_<

Just imagine yourself handling an item worth more than your total bank amount, and it didn't just go NQ, but was a COMPLETE LOSS. That was my experience. There was literally "no energy to flip a table"...
I just remember that NOTHING was guaranteed in 2.0 like it is now in 5.0. There weren't many 100% skills. There was 70 and 80% skills. Something as simple we take for granted now like "Groundwork" would have been 25% chance of success in 2.0.

My largest loss I ever had was 375k. I felt ill after it blew up in my face. Like I could not believe what just happened as I sat there in shock. 2.0 crafting wasn't for the feint of heart...or the poor.

I to felt that 1mil in 2.0 was a lot of money. I think I could only muster up 1.3mil by the end of 2.0. Heavensward was just as difficult with crafting with collectables and scrips.
