No moral highground. You ordered the item and got what you ordered.

Hard disagree. The only people engaging with it are people that are barely distinguishable from bots, and occasionally people saying “wtb X” in trade chat. Outside of that, it’s people crafting for friends/guild members.
That they insist on the buyer having any major input in the process was a huge miss. It should have always been crafters putting up mostly specced out orders that the buyer just slots in the required parts for an obvious price set by the seller. With daily limits to prevent one crafted from soaking the whole market with spam.
No explaining the system to the buyer, the buyer wouldn’t even need to understand what they were feeding into the order in my above proposal. Just that they need 200 of x material and Y gold to get an item with defined stats

So? They can still screw you.
If I actually thought that, why would I even be here informing you of how you can best avoid this frustration befalling you in the future?
No they cannot.
You can set the rank requirement on a personal order, so how are you being screwed?

Im not insinuating.
I am just flat out saying that if you see a note saying “please craft to x rank” knowing you cannot do it, but choose to take the order anyways because you technically dont have to listen… youre a bad person.

if they somehow do, you have recourse because your agreement on price and quality is all in chat 
And you are wrong.

Not through the Dungeon Finder, you can’t. You get whatever matchmaking gives you. That’s why I specifically said Dungeon Finder and used the word ‘queueing’.
But you’re still missing the point which is the main issue here.

Sure. I can ASK for a T5, and TALKING to the crafter doesn’t mean he can do it. That just means they say “yes”.
You’re talking about making the actual order. That’s different.

Not really, I never read the notes on public orders because time is money. If you want something crafted at t5 you don’t roll the dice it’s that simple.

I don’t disagree that I’d like the system to change, but did you really expect to be able to “ask” for a certain quality when you’re circumventing the system that guarantees it? Of course you’re going to get whatever quality the first person who sees it can make. Late in the season that’s often 5*, but it’s always a gamble.
Regardless of the system being bad, you should have known that, don’t be naive then complain that it’s somehow not your fault.

100% your fault. First off we don’t have minimum quality on public orders because everyone would demand top quality and want to pay next to nothing. Then they would whine when their orders don’t get filled about how it’s unfair. Even though they’re offering 100 gold for something that takes 300+ concentration. Not only this but it would also stifle competition in the markets by allowing on the long time crafters to respond to orders since they’re the only ones that would be built up enough to do so. If you wanted a specific tier you should’ve done a personal order or guild order. Or better yet actually talked to a crafter and worked something out with them. You used a public system demanding something for free basically and it bit you in the rear end. Again 100% your fault.

Tbf i did say “if you see a note”
If it wasnt seen, then not at fault
Have you ever tried to make a m0 group? And put in the description that you only require a tank, but 30 dps still sign up?
That same thing happened to your note on your order.

Do you really believe this?
Last week someone was offering Teebo’s sword (the red lightsaber) for 450g G, not 450K. So I nabbed it, invited the person, and they said “oh, sorry, I meant 450k”.
Blizzard did nothing.
right, and since there’s no way to guarantee the person sees, reads, or can understand the note… if you want a specific quality, there’s a system in place for that already.
that is completely unrelated to anything we’re talking about here.
