Imagine my surprise that you want to upvote the post that’s hyperbolic and missing the point just as much as you are.
Public orders are to pugging as personal orders are to premade groups. They both have their pros and cons. And much like how we can’t queue for mythic raids through the Dungeon Finder, you can’t set minimum quality with a public order. They have different systems in place for a reason.
It is extremely unfortunate that there are people out there would would choose to take a commission they cant fulfil because of a technicality.
But i am extremely grateful to people like you who choose to do the right thing.
It might not be rewarding, but it helps make the game better overall 
The “clear solution” clearly isn’t. If it was, I wouldn’t have to wait so long for these mythical people that sit in trade all day waiting for people’s orders to come in.
Well, that didn’t happen. Got tired of waiting, people who made my T5 in the past did so, so I went with a public order.
I don’t have all day to sit around and wait, so IMO, the system is broken. As stated before, crafters are just add-on spammers. There’s no “server identity” anymore, stop pretending there is.
You can see this one of two ways.
We’re good and the others are doing something wrong.
We’re stupid and the others are just smarter than we are.
With only two likes to the OP (and one of them was mine) it seems like the community has spoken. Gonna promptly start snapping up orders and giving them garbage. Won’t even concentrate. The bigger the tip, the better. Hope you do the same.
No, it’s dumb. If you allow scumbag behavior, people are gonna do it. End of story. This is an oversight on blizzard for sure. Yea, you can use trade chat (why would you subject yourself to the degeneracy of that chat). And yes you can do guild orders which depend on your guildies to have the recipe, but you can’t deny that no public order ranks is stupid. If ANYTHING they should have had ranks on public but not on guild if they’re going to go that way.
Bad analogy. You can see who you’re inviting to a group, can’t you?
Didn’t you say you were leaving a few days ago?
I’ve already started doing that to make a point. It killed me to do it, but if that’s what the community wants, I’ll just point people here if they complain.
Exactly, the “clear solution” is to NEVER do public orders
I did say that yes.
Because of people like yourself.
Bringing that up was not needed yet you did it anyways.
All good? Cool.
soft riot. i like it
nods
It clearly is because your issue is quality, and it allows you to specify a qualitative threshold.
And you went in knowing T5 wasn’t a guarantee.
You accepted the risk by engaging in that system rather than exercising patience to find a crafter for a personal order.
This isn’t a problem with the system, it is a problem with you.
Do you know how to prevent them from engaging in this behavior?
You don’t post the order for them to muck up in the first place.
With no order, there’s nothing they can mess up.
The problem is solved.
It’s actually a pretty accurate analogy, with personal orders you actually speak to the crafter.
You being impatient doesn’t change that there is a clear solution.
It is intended function. Public orders are intended to be fast and fillable by most anyone but does not allow a minimum rank. You not knowing the function doesn’t change that intent.
More like random queue vs premade.
I mean they were right.
You are lucky you got a tier 4.
If you want a tier 5, spam trade looking for a crafter.
You can only set tier on personal.
There’s no moral stance to any of this.
OP posted a public order, disliked what they got, and instead of resorting to the system as it is intended created this nonsense of a thread. All that has happened here is showcase why some folks think harassing other players is fine.
Not saying that you specifically condone harassing players… but I am saying you are defending the practice of it. By insinuating that fulfilling a public order somehow makes someone a “bad person.”
It is an insane stance to take that a person uses the wrong system for the wrong purpose, and somehow is justified in condemning people for using the system as it is intended. And all of this… because someone left a note saying essentially “please do this cheaper for me than if I had asked a crafter for a personal order.”
It is an insane stance to take to proclaim that the person who simply fulfilled a public crafting order… somehow is a bad person (you said ‘people’ so you are taking this further by insinuating it is tied to a person’s character rather than simply the neutral stance of fulfilling a public order).
How did this reach 200 posts?
The current public system should have a quality setting to ensure people can only craft that quality.
Stop putting zero blame on the system and 100% on the person. Start accepting things can be better than the current method circumventing the problem.
Circumventing a problem doesnt remove the problem nor produce a solution. Realize changes cam be made that would make things better for everyone.
lol it’s always fun when people make things like that up and expect everyone else to know them
You see, this is the problem. I trusted people to make my T5s and they did. You think it’s OK to screw people. Good people won’t make a T5 if someone sends them T3 mats and a note that says “Please make a T5, thanks!”. So, you’re not helping the situation, nor are you offering any constructive changes. You’re just saying “that’s just how it is”.
No it should not.
