Crafting is almost Perfect !!

[Discordia]

The problem is that people who harp on these changes have multiple crafts at the end of the spectrum (50) so have access to a plethora of abilities. However, if you asked new players, I'm sure the answer will be different. I'm failing lots and there's nothing fun about these changes. There needs to be a re-evaluation on the difficulty curve for new players (or players just starting to get into crafting) and also toning down some of these abilities ... they're too powerful.

Edit: Another thing to consider is that you could just have these abilities and go w/o gear and still succeed. Which is very disconcerting as this will only give rise to crafting bots.

Im sure I may in the minority, but with all the high level abilities available it really isnt that difficult to HQ things. Maybe SE wanted it to be difficult and only have those crafters that put a dumb amount of time into crafting to be able to HQ things so the market wouldnt be saturated. With that being said, the abilities I use are:

Determination
Byregot's Blessing
Culmination
Greater Calling
Clean Slate
Master's Mend
By the Book
Heart & Soul
Purification
