Thread: Please Join Us in Voicing Your Opinion of the New Experimentation System
The Only thing is .. this new exp method is to new to really judge.. And .. I have heard reports that it varies a tad bit on each schematic.. (so items with 4 bars to exp on will have different results than an item with 1 bar.. )..
I have gotten approval on a test and resource request that I submitted and will be doing a VERY thorough testing through out several items.. (both ARCH and Non ARCH..) Though I am a little nervous of this new system I am going to keep an open mind Until I have the facts.. ( I am hearing WS on test that are claiming to be surpassing all of their old best weapons.. )
I am Hoping that It will not take much longer to get the resources I requested and I will Post my results ASAP.. Promise
Yeah .. This may very well be a nerf.. But .. The truth of the matter is that the majority of the people that are yelling about it now.. Have not played with the new system.. They read it .. listen to a few people and make their conclusions..
All I am saying is that I will keep an open mind till I have the facts..
Also .. I have played with TH online only a little bit.. And I know he dabbled in Architect.. But Honestly .. If he doesnt have the time to answer our Top Ten Questions in the immediate future do you think he has the time to fully understand the new Crafting system?... (and I in no way mean that in a way that Knocks TH either)..
I have heard Positive report and Negative.. I have a test lined up that will beyond a shadow of a doubt clear all questions for me and I will report those findings here for everyone else to make an educated decision about it..

I think thats kind of a contradiction in terms. If you're a master then you're not a dabbler.
I don't know for sure if the changes are good or bad for architects. I don't know for sure if they are good or bad for other professions.
I'm pretty sure we weren't asking for this change.
It isn't a great sign to see the community relations manager defend changes by saying we asked for them and then basically encouraging folks to hoard pre-nerf items cause it is what he would do. And all the while he doesn't know the exact details of the changes made to crafting experimentation.
I agree totally. That is exactly what he is saying.It's a nerf and its not to our advantage when it comes. I am already dropping tailoring due to the vendor nerf. This is just one more thing that will make crafting not a viable source of income for me.
Why break things when you could go and make better and stronger things? There is not one good reason for this nerf as far as the players are concerned. Unless its to make the CH's feel a lil better after all the crap that was done to them (provided there are CH's left in the game that aren't holo grinders.)

Things change in MMOs and they change all the time. There is a big push to balance all of this stuff and these instances are going to occur. Will these weapons be around forever? No, not forever. It takes a while for things to cycle out as they do in any big "system". And thats what this is; its a big, virtual, social system. Things change and time passes and it works like a bell curve. First, people wont know about it and a few at the front end will benefit while people at the back end of the curve don't know about whats changing. Then the word will spread and the "wave" will flow past and catch on and everyone will talk about it. While thats going on, the clever crafters will take the time to make all those"old weapons"and sell them as time passes. Then most of the "old" weapons will be gone and all players will be on the same playing field, though it will be a longer timeline. This change has to happen though - - its good for crafting and good for the game. its the transition thats tough. Change is always tough and there is a lot of change going on right now.
Sure there is going to be some pain, but don't miss out. You are getting this information now. You folks are involved in the community and you are getting the information. The smart crafters who are involved in this are seeing the winds of change coming and they're out there making product....and you should too. Don't see this as your doom, soo this as your opportunity. You are involved and now you get a chance to take advantage; be those smart crafters and make it happen for yourself.
I don't know about you all but I read that as saying:
Yep we're nerfing it all. Suck it up ya wussies. Stock up on pre-nerf stuff now if you're smart.
