It’s a combination of their ridiculous belief that crafting gear should be a social activity, when it isn’t, it’s people spamming in trade with add-ons and using semi automated add-ons to whisper people based on keywords to snipe customers. As soulless and non social n activity as could be.
The practical reason they might be clinging to this though, is that most people don’t understand the crafting system. And would become frustrated if they put up some garbage order with 1 star mats and the order never filled(because it’s impossible to do so, even with concentration).
They should have scrubbed private orders entirely and just had a combination of public orders with required quality as an option, and public buy orders. Completely seamless transactions without spamming in trade.
A good person would read the note and either follow it, or not take the commission.
Just because youre allowed to do something doesnt mean its something that should be done.
Public Orders tell me people don’t care about quality even if they obviously prefer top quality. They’re trading quality for ease and convenience. I don’t judge how they weighted these.
Public Orders have a minimum quality level: It’s one star.
And i do agree with that too.
People can give back any rank regardless of what notes you leave or how big a tip you provide.
It is rolling the dice so you should be prepared for the worst outcome.
But you can’t lock rank 5 for most recipes. Most recipes will require some concentration to make a max rank item, so the usually the max minimum you can post is rank 4
Edit: I haven’t actually thought about this. You had to have the minimum level to craft things in Dflight but then ingenuity was different. Not going into a long winded explanation of why, those who know, know.
Yea sure… But maybe the stupid system shouldn’t be stupid in the first place. Not having ranks on public orders is such a dumb idea. Why blizzard always has a caveat of b.s. that you have to accept with any of their systems is beyond understanding.
That’s exactly what I do. I pass over orders that ask for T5 if I can’t make T5. Because I do that, I lose the tip, and because the person who took the OP’s order did not do that, he got the tip.
i only use public for enchanted crests since they have no star rank and you can just give the lowest quality mats too
anything else i have to ask trade chat until someone nice whispers me. extra steps for no reason tbh. it’s not like it builds the community… i never meet or talk to the crafter again lol.
guild orders seem pretty neat but i never happen to use it. turns out i tend to want the item NOW and not wait for guildies to login who knows when heh
