Public Order with Quality requirements

Why doesn’t blizzard allow quality requirements for public orders?

Because they want “server identity” for the bestest crafters >.<

Public orders are indeed for fast fulfillment without care for quality per this Interview.

@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.

In a later interview (March 2023), they said this…

@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.
• They are looking at solutions to the Work Order space and the leading contender is NPC Work Orders - NPCs periodically posting their profession work orders on the market, which aren’t going to be the very best, but a good baseline. If you want to fill a work order to get a skill up and complete your quest, there should be a way to do it, but right now the interface just being empty isn’t a good experience for everyone. It requires new technology, but it’s something they want to do in Dragonflight.
