You cannot in any rational sense tell us that the crafting order system is a success when the only orders available are scams meant to pray on uninformed people.

Would it hurt for people to inform themselves?
Or just read pop-up saying no mats are supplied? Is it really that hard?

Would it hurt for blizzard to make it so bad actors canât scam other players in the first place?
Seriously, the waste of oxygen âplayerâ thatâs doing this on Wyrmrest Accord floods the crafting order system every day with hundreds of no mat, sub 50g commission orders on items that cost 500-2000g to make.

Thereâs an add-on for that
And if you are getting scammed this late in the XPac, you have a bigger problem
Sure, good filter for no mats orders wouldnt hurt, but in the meantime, there is pop-up + yellow text saying no mats supplied.
There is a small addon called no mats no make that filters no mat orders where you dont even see them
It is when you have to scroll through literally hundreds of orders to see the ones with mats provided.
Why cant you search for only orders with mats provided and be able to ignore the scams?
This should be such a simple fix I find it astonishing that Blizz didnât launch with it and still hasnât fixed that to this day.
Whatâs funny is that blizzard DID launch DFâs work order system with only the ability to search for work orders with all materials available because you couldnât post work orders without all the mats.
We really need to go back to that [for public orders] to curb the scam order spamâŚ

Maybe the work orders could be linked to the auction house so if you put an order without mats the minimal fee requiered will be the sum of the price of all mats missing in itâŚ

Or a random thought, dont allow orders with missing mats to be posted for completion.
Iâve suggested this several times. Even if itâs a batch overnight run to get average sale price over the last day (or 3 days) it would help honest-but-clueless customers set a reasonable commission price. TSM addon has been doing this for years, so itâs not impossible.
Better still, next ex-pack the AH and CO system should be linked real-time, with âbuy matsâ buttons to allow all (for Public orders) or specific (for Guild/personal) orders to be purchased when the order is placed, perhaps allowing a 10% tip to be suggested automatically too.

I donât think itâs a bad system but something should be in place to prevent scamming.

HAH! I was just about to make a post about this topic. I see these all the time, and this is appalling. The truth is that these scammers would not being doing this if some fools werenât on here filling these orders.

Right now there is a âAllied Wristguard of Companionshipâ being requested. 5K Commission, missing Centaurâs Trophy Necklace (20-30k in the AH) and 8x Obsidian Seared Alloy 170G - 528G perâŚ
I wouldnât mind the no mats part, IF, they offered the cost of the mats + commission.

you can adjust the filters in the addon to allow orders with no mats over a certain threshold
the interface is too bulky. There needs to be a way to enter multiples at the same time, both for entering and order and the crafting of the order. Itâs barely worth the time to use it for the guild to increase professions doing it all one at a time, IMHO

This is my big worry.
They double down and the scammers and early exploiters win again.
Iâm not sure offering an order for 1s is much different then people who put gray items in the AH for 10,000g.
500g for a pet craft is fine at this point in the game, if they included all the mats. All you do is click a button. Some people are happy to do a cheap order for the weekly quest. Others put orders like that in there for their alts to do later and sometimes someone will do them.
