If it means anything, I had at least 6+ level 50+ crafters before I had left the game about a year ago.  Those characters are now gone.  I used to make a lot of money with my level 70 tailor, and made decent cash with my level 60 armoror crafting T2-T6 <b>legendary</b> armor.  Thats right, legendary, not mastercrafted.  Now, drops are so good throughout the tiers and are in general, consistently better than anything crafted.  Today, I have one sage that I'm actively leveling.  I have no inspiration to craft at all anymore. What ruined it: <ul><li>Complete removal of interdependency, and removal of subs.  I made a killing because I had my own alchemist who could make extracts.  Dolls, armor etc all sold really well, with high profit margins. </li><li>Rares used to be more rare.  Now they are cheap, and again, profit margins are less because everyone can craft rares. </li><li>Merging of the brokers.  I was in freeport, and at least at the time, most of the crafters were in Qeynos.  Now, the market is flooded since you have visibility to everything.</li><li>Gear "nerfed" or at least adjusted.  I miss items having combinations of resists and stats.  I'd rather have +300 magic and +300 mental than +50 of each resist.  Many low level items don't even have resists.  </li><li>No bump in the tier.  We've been at tier 7 for a long time, and dropped gear has increased in quality since KoS.  EoF legendary is light years ahead of mastercrafted.</li><li>No crafted gear equipable at 67+.  Yes, there are a few items, but the recipes are largely no-trade and generally require raiding.  Many people who have been at 70 for over a year simply have no need for anything crafted, and the people who raided to get the recipes probably don't need the fabled craft that came about because they are already fully fabled! </li><li>Expensive cost for an abort.  Aborting a sub or previous combine had a small penality, now it has a large one.  Not a huge deal though. </li></ul>Suggestions:<ul><li>The new writ system is a huge improvement.  I would suggest getting tradeskill XP when completing each one.</li><li>Make XP gain for each profession the same as it is proportional to the amount of recipes they have in that level.  So, if a sage has 12 recipes, they should ear the same amount of XP after making all 12 recipes the first time as a carpenter who only has 3 recipes.  Maybe not this a literal of a change, but hopefully you get the idea. </li><li>Add more recipes or change the stats of items so that they are equipable later in the tier, especially tier 7.  Make players WANT to have crafted gear at 70.  So, for example, have a pair of Xegonite pants that are equipable at level 69 that have stats comparable to level 69 gear.</li><li>Have crafted gear have set bonuses like dropped gear.  If you have a full set of dragonhide leather, it should provide a bonus - maybe with an additional imbue.</li><li>More varying imbues than just on chest, pants, weapons, and rings.  Transmuting really has ruined this though, they get all the cool effects, even if the tradeskillers get to make some of them.  We're still dependent on transmuters for the components though.  I can't think of an easy way out of this other than allowing more imbues.</li><li>Allow for tradeskill respecs.  Anyone should be able to drop to a level 9 artisan and lose all recipes 10+ if they choose.  We shouldn't have to roll a new character, as it seems most of the new crafting stuff requires crafters to have high adventurer levels.</li><li>Allow us to transmute common crafted items.</li><li>Adjust Hex dolls so that they properly scale with the tiers.  +9 INT at level 10 vs +14 INT at level 60 is not a proper progression in my opinion.</li><li>Throwing weapons in tier 7 all have the same stats.  In previous tiers they vary.</li><li>Master III spells.  Not that sages really need a boost, but it would be nice.  Make the rare raws ultra-rare.  I see people trying to get spells level 57-60 more than anything in tier 7 since they are so difficult to obtain.  That really shouldnt be the case.  57-60 M1 spells are usually at least 5-10x more expensive than tier 7.  Being able to craft a master III version would alleviate the need for a specific book to drop. </li><li>Bring back fabled crafting, in a large scale, with similar drop rates to relic starters.  Heck, make relic gear require crafters, as it should have been. </li></ul> I could go on. Needless to say, I liked the crafting system as it was when Bloodlines launched.  Imbues were there, but there was no geomancy, binding, thaumaturgy etc, and combines were there.  Not sure if I'd go back to WORTs and the dependancy on Alchmists, but to me it was a much more involved system that encouraged a market to work together. Now?  Its mindless. Just mash buttons until you get a product.  No thinking involved, no challenge.  Anyone can do it, and now that the products are even less desirable, there is less reason for me to do it.  Chances are i'll find it on the broker for very cheap. Risk vs. Reward?  Obviously, there is no risk involved with crafting, so it should be an intellectual risk (well, other than the forge back in the day).  Make it so that you have to plan what you need to make a product, just like in real life.  Tedious, you say?  Don't craft, there's too many of them anyways.  I enjoyed the planning it required to make a product and once that product was done, it was a sense of accomplishment.  Now, you churn them out like an assembly line where there are no workers.  Yes, you can't completely get away from grinding (just like adventuring) but you need to keep it as interesting as possible. Not sure how many people agree with me on the above paragraph, since I doubt subs will come back, but its just how I feel. agressiv

One thing I would like to see atleast from the outfitter (armorer in my case) perspective is be able to be able to craft a full suit of all the kinds of armor/weapons once we specialize. If I can say make a melodic or devout chest piece why can't I make the pants or the bracers untill tier 6 ? This would help both adventurer and crafter alike as people can get the armor that really helps their class by tier 3 if they need something other  then just str sta and agl from the chainmail and vanguard sets, and the outfitter will have some more recipies to help lessen the rather nasty grind needed due to the increased variety.

<cite>Deson wrote:</cite><blockquote>First off welcome!  One of the main problems with t6 harvesting, and to some extent EoF harvesting is the dearth of nodes.  It's not just that there aren't enough to support more than a few harvesters per zone, it's that they are spread incredibly far apart leading to a harvest time much longer than other tiers. Couple that with them not being as specific as KoS harvest spots and you have it just being a pain. Personally in harvesting for all my crafters, t6 was most annoying for that very reason. </blockquote>(1.)  I would *definitely* echo the "EoF" harvesting....this is a problem not just with Tier 6 but with virtually all Tiers in the EoF zones compared to all other zones.  The number of nodes, and just as importantly, the perceived number of possible 'spawn points' for nodes is simply considerably less in EoF zones by comparison, for whatever reason.  I don't even bother even giving the tiniest thought to harvesting in EoF zones because of this reason, unless I happen to be there for reasons other than harvesting already and just happen to come across a node I might want something from.  But to go there and actually spend time harvesting?  It would be a huge waste of time for the above reasons.  If you guys (and I understand you personally Dom are not over this particular area, but if you could pass this along) could make EoF zones as plentiful and frequent in terms of harvest nodes as other parallel zones, it would probably help everyone as it would spread things out more instead of practically everyone who seriously harvests being packed in to 1-2 zones (Feerrott comes to mind here...there's other places to harvest Tier 5 sure, but there's no other zone that really comes close in terms of relative ease and accessibility that also has enough nodes to support it.  The section in Steamfont with T5 harvest nodes suffers from the above badly, and EF/LS are both too high/rough in content/mobs to harvest in consistently until your adventuring level is high enough to have greyed out the zone). (2.)  My main gripe with Tier 6 (and it may be Tier 7 is this way too;  I don't have any level 70's yet myself and thus I haven't progressed to T7 harvesting yet, but I'm sure others can chime in if there's a particularly noteworthy difference there as well) is the fact that rares are far *too* 'rare' in this tier.  Please understand that I'm not saying nor am I expecting an easy time of it in rare harvesting....I'm a relatively patient person and I'm used to spending several hours harvesting over a few days to get what I want or need.   But the frequency in which I seem to get rares in Tier 6 seems, maybe at *best*, 1/4th as often as I've experienced (or at least 'perceived over time&#39<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> the average being in every Tier that came before it.  I think the last 2 times I was harvesting in earnest in Tier 6, I probably spent a total of close to 12 hours harvesting over the period of 2 days over one weekend, and I think I had 4, maybe 5 rares total to show for all that.  Even the 'imbue' rares, which are annoyingly abundant in other tiers, seem much more 'rare' in this tier than in all tiers that have come before.

And that I could understand too if it happened on a kind of gradual curve.  But what I'm referencing is more like falling off a steep cliff by comparison even to just Tier 5.   Even in Tier 1 on the newbie isles while you can have a certain frequency of rares there, I've never had them 'drop like candy' nor would I expect them to either.  I don't think they should come close even to 'dropping like candy' in any tier.  But I think 12 combined hours of harvesting on the flip side should certainly net you more than 4-5 rares tops if you're harvesting every node/node type within an area.

I'm going to second the request for full suits of variant armor at every tier -- both for armorers and tailors both. Not only does it make crafters sad, but adventurers who like the variant armors can't wear all matching clothes!

personally I would like some aa lines added into tradeskilling - even if its just something I can get after I hit level 70... cause right now theres such lack of motivation to craft other than to keep one or two items of everything you can make on the broker for sale - I get no xp, no point in doing writs cause we are GL60, etc. Some possible options for tradeskilling aa (some similar to what a previous poster mentioned): 1) Harvesting line 2) Progression / skill in crafting line 3) a line to further advance your transmuting or tinkering, which includes things like bonuses to your skill level (if any impact on these two), rare recipe obtainment, etc. 4) a merchant line, which includes things like lowering your brokerage fee when buying ts components, lowering your brokerage fee when selling, maybe an ability to allow you to summon a broker anywhere for 5 minutes, and a final ability or something that allows you to get 5 extra spaces in each your salemen crates something like that - give me a reason to craft - doesnt have to be 50 aa points (or can be but just make it not super hardcore to grind through cause there are no real ts quests) another potential option too - I know there's been talk of going to FEWER tradeskill classes - but I am actually going to go a step further an allow further progression into my current.  So for example as a jeweler maybe I can become a gemologist (make very rare recipes with gems), a soft metal worker (think of a name here but similar concept) or amaster  spell maker (make master 3 spells, etc) You could do similar with each tradeskill line to make it so there is more "specialty" required - not more commonality.  Thing is to make sure there are the recipes and items to back it up - if there's nothing meaningful to make - there's no point in doing it - however if all of a sudden I can make a really rare ring or as a gemologist add procs and stuff to gem-based jewelery (yes further to adornments) - phew - people will love me even more and there is a reason to tradeskill again other than to just sell the same junk (yes, its mostly junk).  At the same time as a gemologist, I am out of the master 3 spell market  and cant make money there, but heck, I may be one of the few gemologists on the server and hence should be rewarded for the time I put into it.

Make something new to advertise LFW, maybe like an advertising board where we can show our class, level, recipies, etc. Maybe even go as far as placing orders through this system. Posting 70 Jeweler LFW every 5 minutes in qeynos_crafting is kinda lame. <span style="font-size: medium"><b>This is especially a problem on PVP servers where everyone wears ANONYMOUS tag - LFW becomes useless there since you cant find someone if they are /anon and /lfw.</b></span>

<p>There have been several posts here saying they want the sub-combines back.  I have to agree that that would be nice.  I currently have one of every base crafter type (thats 9 different crafting toons) and liked crafting much better back when it had sub-combines.</p><p>However, the system that had been placed there was broken.  There were too many sub-combines for some recipies and not enough for others.  Then they tried giving everybody the ability to make their own interims, that too kinda sucked.  Finally they just removed the refines and interims all together.  In my opinion this was using bazooka when a .22 caliber would have sufficed.</p><p>I think that returning sub-combines to the art of crafting would be a good thing; however, it should only consist of "refines" and no interims.</p><p>Secondly, (and I might get flamed on this point) I think the "parting out" of who gets what type of "refine" was a good idea but should have been left at the class level - all scholars can do their set of the same refines, all outfitters can do their set of the same refines, and the same for Craftsmem.  This way the most you would ever need of "alts" for doing refining would be 2 - with three toons doing crafting you could make all the stuff you needed yourself.  This method still provides for a "sub-combine" market for crafters without making it near impossible to get the stuff on your own (like it was when interims were divided up amongst the subclasses: sage, tailor, carpenter, etc.)</p><p>Lastly, if crafters can have work-orders that give status and coin -  why cant we crafters get quests from shopkeepers around the city for coin and crafting xp?  This would certainly help to reduce the pain felt during the process of leveling characters that have a limited recipie set (e.g. carpenters).  You could even make them competitive by making the crafting quests "spawn".  Namely the quest isnt always there - the shop owner may tell you that his or her stock is currently full and to try back later.  Thus, crafters have to try and catch the quests before a different crafter of the same type gets it - sort of like contested raid mobs.  Could make it even more personal by having the shopkeeper tell you who was the most recent person to fulfill the crafting quest. (e.g. Im sorry I dont have any work for you right now.  <character name> just delivered a new supply of <crafted item> to me.  Try back later, I might be able to give you the work next time.)</p><p>Just some ideas from an adled brain</p><p>~Alise Darkleaf - Permafrost</p>

Considering you are joining a team that's already started work on ideas they've had for years and as you said, it will take awhile to get fully caught up, all I'm really looking for is ensuring you've gotten as much clean feedback as you can in an easy spot. Oh, and does the bolded mean Sages are getting nerfed?!

Ok, I'm going to presume the following: You got a turnover from Ilucide that covered his hypothetical and other feedback we gave him;you  saw some of what Friznik proposed way back in summer '05.
