It seems that Silius (Lead crafting dev) only replies to posts on Vanguardcrafters.com

Im only a noob crafter, dable with it every now and then. I was a 16 outfitter for the longest of times while I worked on my adventuring levels..

I was finally reduced to a gibering idiot when I decided I wanted level 18 outfiter so I can make cotton bags!!.. I spend ages getting from 16 to 17 but then I decided to use whatever time it took on sunday to get to level 18.

I started at 11am and didnt finally hit 18 until 10pm... 11 hours of hideous, ugly and tedious grinding of EASY work orders which I could never seem to get to A.

My rewards were pathetic!.. but at last I could craft cotton bags..

But there is an ugly twist to this story, I couldnt actually craft the cotton bags!.. every click got me only 6% progress!!.. Im short 500 AP EACH TIME!.. there was a +25 outfitter diplomacy buff in tursh and I maxed out my stats again... Still I could not make my bags! :/ why?... why?.. WHY? what the hell is the point in giving me a recipe that I cannot make! Why not give it me at 20 ?

Just to test it.. I tried making cotton shoes, recipe I had learnt at 16... I am still barly able to make them finished! - two levels later!!

After this I was so depressed that even going back to adventuring I just want to stop playing vanguard all together.

I have a level 28 Psio, after spending 4 hours last night I got nearly half of that level done.... why oh why does it take 11 hours to get from 17 - 18 outfitter???

Its seriously bad.. its enough to make anyone cry, is this the intention? is Silius just a sadist?

Im with you Ysharros, I think Crafting in VG is in desperate need of an NGE! thats how bad it is.
