Thanks for going to all that work, Caimie.

I agree with others that as a housing item it's more of a dead end. The IS fountain was popular because it was one option out of only 5 total. For housing, it's just one option out of a couple hundred. Not many are going to be interested when there are much less expensive and just as attractive options available.

SE seems to be struggling trying to come up with ideas for what role Expert crafting/gathering should have.

I think it might also be time for crafters/gatherers to revisit what rewards we want from Expert now that we've had the system for most of one expansion and part of a second.
