I feel like I am in a continuously stuck spiral. I cannot level up therefore cannot gain skill in order to be able to craft max rank items to be chosen by trade channel to craft it so I can level up and gain skill…???..

Well, that’s how it feels like. Best you can do is check crafting orders or see if you can find any recipes that will give you a level from the unlearned ones as well.
There are none anymore. Today was probably a breakthrough for many who focus renown and they’re hitting 19+
So all working orders have been completed. Yesterday there were roughly ~100 individual orders. Now there is exactly 1, on a full EU server.
Now as a regular player you’re competing against absolute muppets who will out-stalk and out-click you on any order they see.
With enough knowledge you’ll eventually be able to craft everything at least at worst quality and they’ll just grab everything they see. The limit of 20 is too high, when having just 10 of these players on a server means you’re losing out on 200 potential orders. There are NEVER 200 orders being published at any given point in time.
The system is DOA

Dunno about you guys, but the only Leatheworking Craft Orders I can see are ones for epic items that literally nobody has recipes for yet, as for everything else people just use the auction.
I’m stuck with Leatherworking too, and I’m really considering just dropping it for something else. I’ve crafted everything, and any recipe I can buy off auction is marked as not giving skillups, so the only skillups I get are the few points from weekly quest. Meanwhile I see alchemists crafting 3 star items consistently that are supposed to require 350+ skill. Like, what the actual f…
yea I just wish we could reset our knowledge points ONCE. Just once and it would give me so much more fun back - the system and the market dynamic was so badly explained that I’ve went with absolute garbage distributions after all. And now I’m stuck like this in the low skill void until months pass and nobody will need anything from me anyway anymore.
Way to ruin it

Hello
Same problem with forge.
I’m 66/100, to level up I must have 75/100 to unlock plans.
I’ve posted about this before. Skill should increase based on difficulty of the craft not based on which recipe you are using. Matrix 4 recipes have same difficulty as spark crafts but you can’t receive any skill for crafting it which makes no sense at all.

Same here. Stuck with LW between ~60 to 75. I have only two orange recipes, very expensive, that are damn near impossible to craft.
I’m in the same boat, but I’ll admit I was probably lax in crafting as I was doing other things but I’m around 58 currently in LW and outside of the really expensive recipes I can’t advance any higher.
Work orders are a waste of time as there is a grand total of 4 requests all leather items I don’t have access to as I’m specced into mail and don’t yet have the points to expand given the massive amount needed to expand into other branches.
Clearly its this way to slow things down so your not maxing out a profession but it shouldn’t come with an all out brick wall in progression.
Yep it is a really REALLY bad system where the rich get richer. Only the players who manage to get their hands on recipes as well as get their skill up by a ton the first week or two get to cash in huge. I just now got to valdrakken and got my blacksmithing to 60 and I am just stuck because I cant level further without crafting orders but I cant do crafting orders because I dont have the skill for it. There is no way to compete with the 24/7 LFW spam in chat from people who got in early.
And before someone recommends public orders it is already a dead system. I am on Draenor EU and there is one single order available. Blizzard really screwed up badly with this system overhaul.
