Asked for T5, got T4. Now I have to waste acuity for a recraft

@Sendryn-sentinels

Which goes against the entire reasoning for the crafting order system.

It doesn’t. The system allows you to put in guild or personal orders with greater control over what you put in and what you get, but you have to interact with folks and use those tools. The public order system is designed to be quick and accessible to everyone to enable crafters to fill orders and rank up their stuff.

@Voliska-atiesh

You people are taking the 5g seriously?

It’s no more ridiculous than anything else you did in this self-inflicted debacle.

@Arandi-moon-guard

id you provide materials?

After seeing the problems in DF, public orders require all materials to be provided by the patron.

[Voliska-atiesh]

Not gonna say the commission but it was 4 digits. Yes, all T3 mats.

[Primerate-sulfuras]

@Sendryn-sentinels

Again: that goes against the entire purpose of the system, which was to give people an alternate way to not have to seek out individuals and spam trade chat.

I proved this wrong to you last month. This system is working exactly as intended.

@Blizzard

As far as the public order system goes, it seems to be working well as an easy way to get something crafted for yourself if you aren’t worried about getting the best quality and want it quickly. This was always its intent.

@Blizzard

Work orders are server based is to allow for people to establish reputations and to specialize and diversify. Everyone knows who the first person who could make the Elemental Lariat on their server was. That person had a very good and profitable experience. If things were not server based, suddenly you don’t get that feeling of being special, or anyone knowing your name or giving you a personal order because the ecosystem is much larger.

Public Order with Quality requirements

That’s actually not at all what they were meant to be. It’s simply what people turned it into. Oh let’s see what Blizzard says. Want it quickly Don’t care about quality wow, the exact same thing I said and I was able to infer this easily from the actual design. but muh quest text lol. lmao, even

[Kaladnei-khazgoroth]

@Voliska-atiesh

that’s what the “instructions for crafter” is there for, right?

When leveling a profession, I readily ignore those. Me when I use the notes? I try to make it funny and humoristic. Got a nice friendship with a cauldron maker in DF cause I called her cauldrons extract of soggy socks, She claims she always added extras for me!! Find a crafter!

[Arandi-moon-guard (Arandi)]

OK then.

Maybe next time don’t use a public order. or you’re just playing the lottery again.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

@Maurdeth-moon-guard

You said it was added so that people could find a crafter who could make it.

Oh, so you’re trolling semantics, because you refuse to acknowledge what was actually being said. Got it.

No. Not just someone who could make it. Someone to make it at the rank asked for without spamming trade chat for an individual.

Glad to know I was right and that a conversation with you isn’t worth the effort.

[Kiyoko-ravenholdt]

That’s not the purpose of a public order. Even Blizzard has stated that (linked above). It gets it quick, enables crafters to level their trade, but does not allow picking a minimum rank.

[Mandieris-frostmourne]

5g? Wow… I’d be more suprised I didn’t get a T1 with that.

@Voliska-atiesh

Not gonna say the commission but it was 4 digits. Yes, all T3 mats.

Oh ok, so 1,000g then, so you paid the crafters next repair bill, so generous.

[Gnomenclatur-detheroc]

Ok, this person basically just ended this thread. Impressive.

[Maurdeth-moon-guard (Maurdeth)]

@Sendryn-sentinels

Oh, so you’re trolling semantics

No, I’m going by exactly what you said.

@Sendryn-sentinels

No. Not just someone who could make it.

Ok, then don’t say:

@Sendryn-sentinels

The entire purpose of this was so that people could have anyone craft stuff and not have to worry about trying to find people who could.

Say that you want to find someone who can make it to your specified quality.

@Sendryn-sentinels

Glad to know I was right and that a conversation with you isn’t worth the effort.

Really must have struck a nerve or something.
Seems to happen a lot here these days.

Also your problem is solved by engaging in the personal order system.
You can specify quality with orders there, don’tcha know.

[Voliska-atiesh]

I found this in the other thread. Pretty much sums it up:

@Aliandrin-fizzcrank

I assume because it lets greedy crafters who haven’t specialised snap up all the orders and take them away from those who have.

[Primerate-sulfuras]

Crafters can basically only do one public order a day so no one person is greedily snagging them up.

[Voliska-atiesh]

@Mandieris-frostmourne

Oh ok, so 1,000g then, so you paid the crafters next repair bill, so generous.

See, this is why I didn’t specify. No, it wasn’t 1000g.

[Mandieris-frostmourne]

Well no that doesn’t, its already been quoted in this thread what sums it up, and its a blue post.

[Tiresias-moon-guard (Tiresias)]

Technically they did not get what they wanted crafted. They asked for it to be T5 and instead got T4. The OP was specific with what they asked for but was given something that did not meet those specifications because the system does not allow for that. There is no harm in admitting the OP did not get what was asked but should use other methods to make this does not happen again.

[Moritz-proudmoore]

To accept an order with a note requesting a certain rank and not providing it is pretty scummy and they should not have done that.

But

@Voliska-atiesh

5g. it was 5g

Did you really offer 5 gold for it?
Thats a pretty insulting offer for max rank.
5k gold perhaps.
But 5?

[Unonatural-laughing-skull]

This is the dumbest post about this. Having the option of a min which exists elsewhere does not mean you have to use it. It exists elsewhere with both functionalities so there’s zero reason it can’t exist in public orders with both functionalities.

[Voliska-atiesh]

@Moritz-proudmoore

Did you really offer 5 gold for it?

You removed the sarcastic emoji. Christ in Heaven…

[Aliandrin-fizzcrank (Aliandrin)]

@Primerate-sulfuras

Crafters can basically only do one public order a day so no one person is greedily snagging them up.

I look constantly and I do about one player order about every two weeks. If it asks for t5 and I can’t make it, I let someone else do it.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

@Kiyoko-ravenholdt

That’s not the purpose of a public order. Even Blizzard has stated that (linked above).

The entire original purpose of the system when first announced before expansion release was so that people did not have to seek out individuals like this.

But this is what it became after people whined about it in beta.

The point is that it should not be this way. Public orders are completely worthless on most servers and the system is mostly useless in its current iteration. Some of us would like to see changes.

Also: Primerate is on ignore for a reason. If you missed his thread where he trashed people caring about the current charity, be glad you did.
