Not trying to gain some likes here. Too old for that crap to be honest.
Just felt bad for the first time since I was skilled enough to have a chance at a top rank or whatever but it didn’t come t hrough on the public order so sent back the tip and extra couple of thousand gold for the trouble with a message to apologize.
If this is what Blizzard had in mind for crafting orders and doing professions then you succeeded but in my eyes this is a failure with how it is tied to profession leveling.
Bring in a minimum quality option and a better way to skill up your professions.

Professions are needlessly over-complicated and convoluted this expansion. It didn’t work in Legion and it doesn’t work in Dragonflight…

I like this idea, I just have to wonder how they could make it work without completely redesigning the system since quality is RNG.
For example, it took 4 tries today to get my weapon up to a 405. How can you set a minimum quality if the crafters themselves have no control over it?
Maybe set that parameter and a tooltip that is visible [this item can be guaranteed a rank 4 and a chance at rank 5]
Setting a minimum quality but not including the last rank but simply rank 4 or 3 or whatever said item allows as the last [or second last rank].
Therefore you inform the seller and buyer of what the outcome is and that such outcomes can be done. While signalling that ‘‘hey this is a definite rank 4 that I’m agreeing to but a rank 5 is a coin toss’’ so to speak.
So not have a definite top rank item, but the one before it. With a clear visible tooltip for the crafter and client wanting said craft to be aware. And anyone below that skill [like me] will just need to keep chipping away at the skill.
sort of like what already happens in personal order … but hey you need to duplicate that so you don’t have to talk to ppl…
I’m shocked someone put in a public order for a high quality item. That’s a huge risk.
It is. I’ve seen a few now and a note stating they wanted it too. But the consequence is having people like me who are leveling also that need the extra point. There is always someone that’ll take the order and potentially craft the lower rank.
Yes and why did they think it would be good after 17 years of having an AH and now implementing this. lol
At least they would of made it better to;
a. level the profession to be able to NOT feel left out when you put in all that time and effort.
b. the customer has better control so they don’t feel duped because when they do, you as the crafter are put on ignore more than 50% I believe and them as the customer are needing to now recraft and get more mats etc…
I think most people like talking to other people for this process. I advertise on trade and most people are very talkative and pleasant. I find a lot of people still don’t understand things and a lot of information gets shared.
I think this has actually been one of blizzards more successful social experiments if that is why they did it this way. And yes, I realize some people just want convenience…
