It costs a resource that is pretty much finite at this point in time. It’s completely RNG, and it has a chance of blowing up and putting you on cooldown for 2-4 hours. It’s not cute, it stopped being funny the moment you checked your alchemy journal the first time and realized you had to wait 4 hours to go again. It’s just a punishment for daring to even attempt crafting anything useful. There’s no reward, you’re just punished for not getting lucky. It’s bad enough that the mats to craft consumables are absolutely absurd but even getting to the point where you can make them at all feels horrible. Stuff like this makes me wonder if Blizzard employees enjoy hammering nails through the palms of their hands in their free time, because they really seem to think that excruciating pain is “fun.”

I’ve had the stupid experiment blow up on me the very first try the last 5 times I’ve attempted to level this stupid profession on my Evoker…and I know that’s probably not as bad as others but I’ve been strongly considering just dropping it altogether because of this. Each one after the 3rd try I’ve thought to myself “surely it won’t explode again”
