Why can’t we ask for a specific tier level when doing a public order? Now I have to waste 20 Acuity which I was going to use on a recipe to get a recraft (I have 160 Acuity as of today).
I asked for a T5 in the comments and got a T4. Person said “you shouldn’t make a public order”. Uh, ok, but if someone asked for a T5 and you can’t do a T5, don’t make it.
yeah I don’t use public orders for a reason and I think the refusal to allow setting ranks when putting up an order has just kept public orders useless rather than making them useful to crafters who aren’t yet at max skill.
Its a real shame because I think the system could be really good with that one change. We can do it with personal orders, so why not public orders?
Maybe use the system that prevents this from happening.
ask in trade, get t5… not difficult.
And what system would that be? Personal order? How about not needing to do that in the first place?
Just give me a loan of two billion gold, I promise I will give five billion back in a month.
No, that would be blizzard.
Also it’s still your fault for not using the system that guarantees you a certain crafting quality when you want it at a certain quality.
Ah, rules for thee and not for me I see.
Then you’re saying that isn’t ok for people to not follow instructions. Do you do that at work?
No, but you apparently do that in game.
You toss it into a system where ANYONE can craft, and have a benefit for doing so. You expect them not to take it?
…that’s what the “instructions for crafter” is there for, right? Or you’re making excuses for people that can’t follow instructions?
I get where you’re coming from. Unfortunately, the honor system doesn’t exist anymore, so hoping people will honor your request to just do r5 if able is nearly futile. It’s sad in a way and there are no safeguards other than using the systems that exist, ie, trade chat.
You can’t put instructions for the crafter. You can write a message, which people can choose to regard or not to.
Because public orders are meant for anyone to be able to fulfill. If you want a specific tier of something, you gotta ask a crafter for a personal order. This is designed in such a way that if you want a consumable or an item you don’t care about its quality, throw it up as a public order.
If you want specialized and high quality stuff; ask a crafter personally who will also tell you how much in commissions you should pay 'em.
You could’ve gotten a tier 1. It is a public order. You don’t dictate what quality you get from them. That’s literally the point of 'em.
Then enjoy getting anything but max tier items. That’s the risk you are purposefully choosing to take, so live with it.
OP is coming from the entitled position of “I want to be able to use a system for what it isn’t designed for, and avoid another system that means crafters can ask for a commission that’s reasonable.”
Has nothing to do with any kind of “honor” system. OP is literally just using the wrong system and blames everyone but themselves for it. For what reason… well, with how they are behaving here we can all be sure the commission that they are willing to pay is less than a pittance.
No, I’m saying there are instructions that will inform you that you can only specify quality on a personal order.
You ignoring them is you refusing to follow your own advice.
Your rule is for others, not yourself.
Yes, you are. I asked for T5, the crafter made a T4 which is not what I asked for.
You put into a system where people can even make a t1.
And they get paid for doing so.
And now you have to live with your mistake of trying to impose such a rule on a system wherein no such rule exists.
