Capping it so low is an horrid fix. So many people wont complete any work orders as they will be holding out for the “big work order”
I personally don’t care for the the work order system at all. But this will be horrid fro it.
Well, yes/no. Its bad for buyers who think they can get away with 50 silver commissions. Anyone presenting a proper commission will have zero issues seeing their public orders fulfilled.
Now if they could enforce a quality minimum for public orders, I think we would start to see a good cadence of orders and fulfilment.

It’s a horrible idea to cap it without updating how Public Work Orders work.
If they add recrafting to public orders and allow us to specify a quality, then yes, it’s a good change.
But the way it is now, no, it’s horrid - all it’s going to do is make it even more expensive to get basic things like your weekly Knowledge Treatises crafted.

Good, this leaves orders for the rest of us who don’t have time to camp the tables, therefore we can get out first craft bonuses done, we can get skill points, find new recipes, and actually feel like we are doing SOMETHING with our profession.
This week I have raided twice and done 2 dungeons, for most of the week I have literally sat at the crafting table for upwards of 8-9 hours a day and found 3 engineering orders, 1 of which I could not make, 1 I had to chance going and buying the recipe and hoping it was still up before I got back just to try and get another first craft bonus.
For you who sits on a good server and gets lots of orders and can take 20 x 1K orders a day sure you miss out, but for others who have no time to spend wasting hitting search, or for players on realms where the order table is barely used, we miss out and get nothing., no gold, no skill points, no new recipe procs, nothing.
And before you say it, why would Blizzard initially change some professions from 5 orders a week down to 2? And why would they further change the work order limit down to 4? If there is no need to make these changes, why are they changing things? Because there are more than enough complaints and enough evidence to justify making these changes.

I’m pretty certain, that like myself, most scribblers will smack the finish button for the chance at proccing the next treatises. Since so many are mostly after the procs, were not making bank on smacking the finish button.
Maybe this will leave more up there.
What work orders?

where did they say they’re changing it?
That’s only a problem with their own expectation to get a bigger commission than customers are willing to pay.
What does it actually fix? No one uses the public crafting order system as it is…
If you read the post the op is crying about you would know that people are using the public system.
It’s just that with a cap of 20 there are crafters being left out. Reducing the cap to 4 means 5x the amount of crafters can fill orders.

“Let is set minimum requirements on work orders, it would be much better this way!”
Caps the number of work orders
“That’s not what we asked for at all!”
Reversed in the patch after the final raid is released.
Every week I get and complete the same 3 orders for the same guildy for the weekly quest. I get a little gold, they sell the items for rouggly that amount and we do it again next Tuesday.
Pretty sure this wasnt the intended design, so I’m curious to see if there will actually be any public orders available on my server after the change.

You can also make crafting orders from your alts to your other characters on the same account.

I’m sure some crafters are wearing resourcefulness gear while sniping work orders for the chance of getting a proc. I could be wrong but who knows.
I wont be going public with orders again due to this change.
Why? Because odds are that the decent crafters will not be able to make my item any more. They will have taken 4 already or be holding out for some really big offers (and no i dont cheap out)
And that just leaves the worst crafters who will make the item at the worst quality.
And i do not want to deal with that.
So yeah, im just going to use trade chat to find a person from here on out.
The intent is for people to do less of these so other people can level up.
It will help solve the problem with crafters not being able to level up which in turn is resulting in a less than ideal experience for the buyers since people take anything just to get those points.
I am pretty sure you haven’t spent a lot of time crafting or recrafting if you are suggesting this. Recrafting is very often relevant on procs so putting a minimum in there does almost nothing.
a lot of those public orders should be more expensive. My scribe still can’t manage to snag these orders because you have people sitting there on and doing them all, so I wouldn’t be concerned about these.
I was sure you claimed at one point not to care about professions - sure seems like you do.
It is on the PTR as max 4 per day.

It’s bloody stupid.
If you want people to use public orders, give them minimum quality so your t3 mats aren’t destroyed on a t1 craft by some moron.

Sorry but we dont use public orders for “the big order” any crafter that makes big gold is selling on trade chat for personal orders
