I have a lvl 16 weaponsmith, and my buddy has a lvl 22 armoror, And it apears that with the last patch they put in, once you hit the 3rd portion of crafting, you get raped with complications. where once i could hit B quality on a moderate, now i'm lucky if i get anywhere near C quality. It's ridiculous because of the amount of great clothing and tools I've acquired over the 16 lvl's. and my buddy is getting it even worse. Easy work orders are almost impossible for him to get C quality on. Where it should be getting easier with the amount of great clothing you earn from doing the work orders, it's getting worse. I think what ever they did was a mistake, and will be fixed, but come on, they should have had a hot fix for this since the patch early yesterday morning. I dont even think they patched today at all. It leaves those of us who like to craft basically stuck with doing very easy WO's and hoping to get hi c quality or low b quality, and no xp for doing them.

Another note. I am baffled with the thought process here as well. I can't for the life of me figure out why when you go to create meaningful things, such as weapons, armor, clothing, etc., that you have to be 10 lvl's above the recipe you are trying to make in order to get A quality. This thought process forces you to be in tier 3 (or lvl 20) to create a lvl 10 (A) quality recipe, That's not a good plan of action in my book. they need to rework the ease of crafting and the amount of xp you get when doing WO's. I don't want it so easy you can craft with your eyes closed. but having to work your way through a whole lvl doing (D) and (C) Quality easy work orders is extremly overwhelming. it takes hours to get through a lvl. I can understand graduated xp drop off with higher lvl, but making it almost impossible to make stuff worth while is out of control. the other thing about being 10 lvl's above the recipe that i've found is that you don't realize it till you get into the higher lvl's such as late teens and onto the 20's. My meaning is that at lvl 12, I could make any tier 1 copper weapon A quality quite readily, however now at lvl 16, i can't even make a tin ingot A quality, somewhere there's a problem.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. I hope they fix it soon. Like I said, I dont want easy, but I want to be capable of learning to make an A quality item, at this point, you have no ability to do so. no matter the clothing or the skill.
