OK, everyone's clearly entitled to their own opinions here, and that's fine with me.

I have excellent crafting gear, I eat tuna mith's, I get, at minimum, T1 support. I spent the 12K guild marks on Perfection which is, in fact, broken, and I did the same for Flawlessness, which as far as I can tell is more broken than Perfection.

If you're happy with the random aspect of the crafting code, congratulations, enjoy the game. I for one, am of the simple opinion that the higher my rank, the easier a particular recipe should be. That doesn't mean my failure rate should GROW from 10% to 20% after SP'g 3 ranks on this same recipe.

Peace out.
