Can we remove the Crafting Order system in TWW please?

So I want to start this post out by saying that I have not really bothered checking what the general community thinks about the Crafting Order system, so if there are a lot of people FOR it - I am all ears (Or eyes I suppose) to hear why it is great and good for the game.

I for one am just sick of that I can’t just buy what I want / need of the AH. They should by all means keep the system of that say: People OTHER than say - Jewelcrafters can utilize their most powerful “Unique equipped” gems, but to lock that behind the Crafting Order system is so stupid in my book.

I especially feel bad for people who is out of the loop on pricing that just wants a high rank of a specific gem or item, without an AH to look at an any matching orders on the Crafting Order tab; they have no clue what sort of price they should put on it. Some might google and find these bait-comments on webpages like Reddit that says people should fork up much more than some items truly is worth.

I get that they were trying to make crafting more… Idk? Involving? for the Crafters, but as someone who has maxed all classes each expansion since Cata and who has tried to keep up on professions - I dropped everything this expansions as both the new Specialization and Mettle system was all fluff and no fun and the Crafting Order system threw me so off.

I hope we see the Crafting Order system removed in TWW and just go to a point in time where crafters can just post whatever they make on AH for whatever price they deem fit. And yes I know personal orders is a thing but not everyone has the fortune of knowing people who can make what they want, and asking around for someone to help sure as hell leads to more gold getting sunk down the drain than it needs to due to the aforementioned individuals who prices things way too high just for the lolz.

Yes please and return crafting to its original form. I havent touched crafting anymore since this expansion because this new system is absolutely terrible. Having to farm those skill points by crafting alot of gear wich is at that point trash compared to people with their crafting maxed out makes sure you got to waste so much gold and materials to level it up. And these investments just arent worth it as the the expansion goes on as now theres already tons of people wich can craft it better and cheaper than you

The crafting system changes were absolutely terrible and killed crafting proffesions for me. And the gathering ones already are not worth it due to bots and multiboxers farming the hell out of the mats and selling them dirt cheap.

The ah being across all servers also helped making it impossible to earn money on a small pop server like mine. Because now i got to compete with bots from all servers

I like the system, however some professions are way better at making money than others…you’ll hardly see orders up for alchemy or inscription…

Oh I completely gave up with crafting this expansion, too many different materials with the qualities and just so much of a hassle getting the talent points for the crafting, anyone returning late have got no chance of getting their trees done.

Removing mandatory demand of all mats for public orders was a mistake. Revert this change and let people choose minimal quality like in personal orders. Should be much better.

Whilst I think the crafting revamp went too far I do like that we can put in orders for things that were previously just BoP items. We can also upgrade those items.

I don’t like the knowledge point system which I’m still to cap in all professions despite having maxed all professions. I don’t like the various quality of materials or outcomes.

I am not a crafter who advertises but most of my crafting orders come from guild or friends. I sometimes do public orders but most don’t include any materials and they never cover the costs of the materials. I preferred it when public orders had to include the mats, then you could simply decide if the tip was worth it. If the tip is tiny you’re not likely to want to spend anything extra to make their craft come out well. You’ll just chance it.

Remove rank 1-3 materials, it is extremtly annoying. We dont need ranks, just materials.

Agreed, the material bloat is just insane in DF.

You cant search when you paste that material name which it means you have to delete long rank 1-3 name first in AH, work orders etc. I think why there are ranks, it is all about rng when you create anything. It makes much worse!

Even FFXIV got rid of different quality materials for the most part as it proved more space consuming and just boring for the general player.

I also want to see this system gone.Or integrated into the AH.
Its complicated,annoying,lackluster.
And on medium or low realms there are no public crafting orders.
Please scrap it in TWW.
I dunno who thought this is good but is NOT.

i don’t think returning it to old system is good but the current way is just awful . especially the endless grind if you try to catch up as a crafter

System is killing retail, everyone playing classic instead of retail because of system design! But, I only playing retail!

I want to get into professions for the gold-making aspect, but it’s way too complicated.

I wouldn’t mind some changes, I dislike the current profession system very much. I’m mostly ignoring it, it’s not a part of the game for me, which feels odd as I’d usually get into it at some point.

Someone in my guild has made it a game to try and make it as low a craft as possible for those orders :sweat_smile:

Love this to an extent, I help if people can’t afford the usual amounts people pay… but when people are just rude or ignorant to the effort it took/takes to level a profession, buy/gain rep for recipes. Nahhh, not wasting my time + I’ll probs end up crafting the highest lvl with the skill lvls being max now :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Not if you use rank 1 materials I think!
