Missing a reaction often doesn't really do anything, and then several ticks later a critical failure when nothing went wrong.... odd. Suggest make missing a reactive really matter, but get rid of spontaneous crit fails. Perhaps increase the rate of a crit success when you have an ever increasing number of consecutive successes. This would make it worth paying attention, which currently is not the case.

I agree with this 100%.

I never can figure out why I get critical failures or successes. There have been times when I was almost finished with an item only to get a critical failure that ended up costing me a successful craft/item/whatever. Other times I'll get 2 critical successes in a row for no apparent reason.

Even worse is that sometimes I can make an (Even) item without any problem at all, but then fail on an item that is 6 or 7 levels below me. =

I'm currently trying to level my crafting up to 50 so that I can finish the [Removed for Content] Thorn of Old quest and it is SUCH a pain.
