Because they want player interaction.
Personal means you know who is making it. Guildies are usually friends or someone you’ve talked to.
Public are literally strangers. No player interaction. Just dump items, come back later.
This is intended.
There is a blue post somewhere, but I really don’t feel like searching for it lol.
But it essentially says the above, that public are meant for quick orders that you don’t care about quality.
Personal and guild let you specific since you have to engage.
“Pattern recognition is a form of cheating. Your homosapiens brain is literally destroying the difficulty of the experience by compensatory adaptation.”
Again, design intent and player use are two different things.
If Blizz wanted to be clear about what players were going to get, they’d put the quality icon front and center, but they don’t - you have to mouse over it to see it.
And again, max-level crafters can ABUSE the system to take people’s gold.
They’ve explained it, in game. The item preview is of the minimum quality the order allows. It is not abuseable that you are getting what you order. If I order a cheese pizza but I want pepperoni, I wasn’t abused and the cell phone wasn’t abused.
You got what you ordered. If you wanted a specific thing, you should have commissioned someone to make it. Your failure to read and use appropriate tools provided is your probelm
If i see a public order specifying T5 with a nice tip, and I cant craft a T5, I simply wont be taking it. People who take such order without fulfiling the tier level are just selfish with questionable character.
You keep saying “it’s what you ordered” when it’s not.
Quality is not placed front and center on the UI
Blizzard put a “Note to crafter” UI element to communicate with the crafter. That’s where you can ask for a MAXIMUM quality
Crafters are free to ignore the note and take your max-level mats and give you a min-level item. That’s bad design.
If public orders are for “leveling”, again, max-level crafters can troll you and give you min level, even if you tipped very well for a T5. Again, abusing the system.
It sounds to me like you’re defending people being shafted. I’m assuming you’ve shafted people and you want to keep doing it.
You can say “it’s what you ordered” all day, but as others here have said, there’s an expectation of reading what’s in the notes. If you can’t make it, don’t. It seems like you’re the kind of person who likes to abuse the system.
Objection, asked and answered. And asked and answered and again and again and again. You’ve gotten the answer at least 30 times in this thread. Don’t ask questions if you ignore the answer
Someone on my server RIGHT NOW is asking for a T5 Consecrated Cord with max mats. 15,000g tip. Someone could make a T4 and screw this person. That’s what I’m talking about.
Your refusal to accept your mistake and improve yourself is not doing you any favors here. You made the mistake. There was no abuse, there was no system fault. It is functioning precisely as intended, as has been stated to be the intent.
It’s the same UI principle since vanilla. You mouse over the item to see its stats
