Why doesn’t blizzard allow quality requirements for public orders? is there some technical hurdle? or some kind of lore reason (can’t think of a lore reason…)?

Public Orders are meant to be fast when you dont care about quality.
Find a crafter if you want something high quality.

Let’s start with being able to use Warbank reagents for work orders and work our way up. The implementation there is staggeringly bad.

I think originally it was because there was no way to garauntee a certain quality and you wouldn’t know what the end product was until you finshed crafting…
But with the TWW changes, I’m not sure that’s still the case
That’s actually not at all what they were meant to be. It’s simply what people turned it into.

The purpose of a system is what it does

The purpose of the system was spelled out for us in the quests no one read. And it’s actually used properly on my server.

Cool flavor text.
I’ll judge it by the design decisions they made and behaviors those decisions incentivize.

Game gives instructions. Only 10% of the playerbase uses it correctly with no problems. The other 90% whine about it and wonder why they hate it.
At no point did I whine about anything.
Instructions are less useful than what a system incentivizes.
Even if there were minimum quality requirements for public orders, your order would likely sit there until it expires unless you are willing to pay the market value for the craft, because currently the good crafts require Concentration. At that point, get three quotes from different crafters and just place a personal order with the best offer.
They want to force us non-social people to socialize. Which we don’t want to do. But they literally have said they want this.
I could have sworn it let me change the quality on the materials, at least for enchanting on patron orders. Unsure about public orders though…
Patron orders have this requirement and won’t let you craft if the quality isn’t high enough.

Its so the second class citizens that have to do public order know their place whlle milhouse manastorm asks for a rank 3 recipe worth 50k gold with no mats for your two knowledge points.
Not at all true. I would low-ball my orders all the time in Dragonflight, and someone would always make it for whatever I was offering. Sometimes within minutes, sometime a few hours, but they never expired.

How much were you offering, and was this towards the end of the expansion?
Originally, in dragonflight, there was no set guarantee on quality, because it was a random proc. So it is impossible to have a rank setting for public orders,
BUT
With the way crafting is done in TWW, there is 0 excuse. People know there is no random proc for ranks. It all comes down to what level materials you use, the skill of the crafter, what specialization points they have, and if they decide to use concentration to up the rank or not.
It is pretty easy to implement it too be honest. They already prove that with the patron work orders. Myself, I don’t care how long my work order would be sitting in the system, as long as it was rank 4 or 5 for the materials I am spending on. All I get back so far are rank 2 and 3, and that just makes me not want to even bother.

I assume because it lets greedy crafters who haven’t specialised snap up all the orders and take them away from those who have.
I mean… The quest that said make friends with a crafter because you can set minimum quality does make it pretty clear that if you want to set minimum quality you want to find a crafter
