Am I the only one think the part of speed up standard/careful/bold synthe is stupid ?

I have nothing against the speed up of animation when you use ability but I have thing against the speed up when you use standard synthesis, careful synthesis & bold synthesis, the sound of hammer & the strength feeling when the char hit the hammer is gone and replace with some weird craft animation of a character hit the hammer like mad.

For what it's worth, I -swear- I remember hearing them say they were going to be redoing all of those animations for 2.0, and that the sped-up animations are a stopgap. I can't find a source on this, though. It does look/feel a little weird but I'd much rather have less wasted time now in exchange for some slightly weird animations for a few months. >_>

Yes it is weird, I was just thinking that last night while making apple tarts, why is that animation speeding up there? Makes no sense. Hopefully they are get reanimated and the crafting system still has a ways to go before it's fun imo.

I feel like spamming standard synth doesn't work as well anymore if that matters. I get some synths that fail that reward 0 progress and I also get some successful synths that reward as much progress as a failed synth now.

Seems the side effect for myself, as a newer player has been it has gotten even more difficult to egta chance to HQ any items unless its the 1-10 area. And most of my crafts in the 17-20+ range. I haven't had alot of time to keep trying so i'll give it a better chance come the weekend. May have been some bad luck.

Any lower leveled crafters having consistant issues? Or was part of the fixing to make it tougher on capped crafters to HQ lower level stuff?
