People need to stop complaining and just learn the new system. I was pissed, then i switched up my abilities and tried out my usual high level HQ recipes for about an hour or so, and now i can HQ everything again with no problem whatsoever. It's much faster, much more entertaining, and is a just plain better system than the old one.

For those saying "Oh you have level 50's", "lowbies and new people get screwed"... That's about as dumb as it gets. I would rather have leveled all my crafts to where they are now with this new system, than the old one I grinded through. New players and mid level crafters now have the added convenience of no timer, abilities that actually work, about 30% faster overall synthing... The list goes on and on.

Not to mention the fact that XP is all but BROKEN. I was gettin 2-3K a synth at LV43 WVR on recipes 2 levels or more BELOW me. If you cant knock out levels 1-40~ now, you sure as hell wouldn't want to a year ago. The only thing that was nerfed is Hand of the Gods, and it needed to be. Now people actually can tailor their abilities to what they're making, instead of leveling ALC to 36 just for HotG and using it for every synth. Awesome job SE. Srsly.
