If you could set a min level on public orders, they may as well just remove anything below 5 stars because that is all people would want. But it would be funny to see people listing their no tip orders, expecting a 5 star order and whining about it in chat. If you need to use the public system, you are best off taking a few minutes and finding a crafter and then placing a personal order. Those you can put a min star level upon.
Another “it is always someone elses fault” post?

Another assertion that everything is perfect and beyond improvement?
I think they really need to change this.
Public orders with minimum quality: You place the order and then get back to playing the game.
Public orders without min qual: You sit in trade/services chats trying to find someone to do it, sometimes multiple sessions.

You and the OP have the same issue: You decline to read the information provided by the game, then get upset with the result. That’s not a system flaw
Y’all act like crafters just spend 15 minutes and a couple gold, make 3 items, and boom, they can make all your goodies on the Public Order system at R5. That’s not how it works.
The Public Order system is for leveling. Period. Imagine what happens when people can specify quality on a system that’s for leveling. Yeah, you might get your specified quality, but now there’s nothing in there that anyone can use to level their craft, or only the patron orders are there, which are absolute garbage.
When there’s already a system in place to get what you want, you INSIST on overtaking the system that exists for a reason other than the one you’re using it for. What would you suggest doing, as a developer, then? Create yet another system designed for leveling which someone who can neither read nor understand the premise of the system, nor be bothered to use the one that’s already in place can bully their way into just by crying “victim blaming”?
If you feel like a victim, you’ve allowed yourself to be victimized on your own. It’s in your head. The system exists for getting the thing you want. Use the resources available to do the thing you need properly, and stop trying to crybully your way into LEVELING CONTENT.

When levelling, you place the ranking low cause you don’t care.
When you do care, you place a minimum setting - except you can’t do that.
Allowing that to happen isn’t an overhaul of a system, nor does it require a whole new system. The ability to set a recommended setting and a note already exists.
Frankly, if this is your position, then you should at least remove the ability to give any recommended setting or a note since you feel people who use those aspects, and don’t get what they requested, all the blame should go on them.
Ultimately, make the minimum setting mandatory, or just remove the entire ability to set a minimum setting since it doesn’t impact what is made and you actually blame the people who put a recomemnded setting rather than the crafter that decided to ignore it.
You all will specify a minimum. All of you. Anyone who is not actively leveling an alt and making something for them will specify a minimum. Its already hard enough to find orders on the system as it is. You just want to make it harder.
Sure, get rid of the box where I can put “Thanks for your time! <3 ya! Big smooches!” When someone makes something for me. Thats going to improve the game.
That makes no sense. Period.
If it’s “for leveling”, then max-level crafters are gonna cheat the system and take people’s gold, while laughing.
Right?

No, I simply want the minimum setting people put in their orders to be mandatory.
It’s pretty simple: don’t put an option to give a requested quality setting if there’s no guarantee you will actually do that.
When I customize my burger at McDonald’s, they don’t say they will later choose to do it or not. Seriously, what company has a system where people can make requests regarding their order but also told there’s no guarantee their request will be honored?

2 days ago I saw someone ask for a rank 5 prof tool for 10k gold on the public orders. My crafter could only make a rank 4 and it would take A LOT of concentration to make it rank 5. I still used all the concentration to make it rank 5, because I didn’t want them to get screwed. You can say it was a waste but it sure wasn’t a waste for that person. Public crafting really needs a way to only get what rank you’re asking.

No. If you’re using the Public Order system, you just want a thing made. Maybe you just want a specific appearance, or you just need a ring to replace the DF purple you’re wearing now that you’re at 75. It doesn’t matter who does it. You give a commission because you appreciate people’s time and effort.
And, in return, you’re allowing a crafter to level up their own skills.
If you’re making an order on a piece of gear that’s intended for a fully leveled character, you’re still helping a crafter get better at their craft. You’re helping someone, regardless of their skill level, get things that crafters need to perform at a high level.
That way, when you get your enchanted crests and high level mats, you have more people who can make your ilvl 635 gloves or whatever via Personal Order.
This is the point of Public Orders. You’re doing it wrong.
You are speaking nonsense. The minimum setting is mandatory already. There is simply not a minimum quality on public orders, by intent. Because it is for making the items quickly and leveling professions, not about artisanal curating to every minute detail.

You don’t get it.
That’s what YOU think it’s designed for. That’s what Blizz said it was designed for. I’m saying that max-level players will use this to screw others. The fact that a system is in place to screw other players needs to be fixed.
You are the one who doesn’t get it. The system is made for a purpose, and it fills that purpose. It doesn’t allow max level players to screw over others, you got the item you ordered. You made the wrong order, that is your fault, not a fault of the system
There. Isn’t. One.
That is a note for the crafter.
An option to give a “requested quality setting” is a drop down menu where you select said quality. Those exist in the places where they are meant to exist.
We’re at almost 900 posts in this thread. How is it easier to write 4 paragraphs on this thread, where you are going to end up arguing with people who use the system properly and have no issues with it, than it is to /join trade “Hey can someone make this at T5 for me? my mats.” (Get a /w) /leave trade?
Your energy is severely misdirected.

You’re trying to explain this to the person who fought tooth and nail it was someone else’s fault he didn’t know that tier set wasn’t from boots. People will do anything except read what is in-game, then go argue about the lack of ingame explanation. It’s wild
So you are fine with removing the quality recommendation to avoid confusion?
There is no quality recommendation.
