This is a further evolution to the 'all or nothing' crafter environment. Of course, all the Master crafters who already have tons of HQ ore and those who are backed by huge resource-gathering conglomerates will gleefully back this new crafting proposal.From new crafter to one box before master, there is nothing youcan make that anyone will buy. So you eitherbecome a Master or forget it. The weaponsmith profession has always been this way...now they are just moving all the other professions into the same position. This is a prescription for disaster at the end of the day.

The whole system needs to be revamped to emphasize an inclusive rather than exclusive crafting environment. Force the Masters and Apprentice crafters to work together for a common return. This is the way the Master/Apprentice relationship worked in real life. Let the additional 'experimental points' be derived from additional apprentices work added to the result. This will solve the current exclusive scenario.

SoE is increasingly guilty of fostering a game environment that pits everyone against everyone in the most devisive of ways. Not for competitive entertainment, but the 'everyman for himself' attitudes. It brings out the greed and uncooperative results we see now. In the end, we will all lose if this continues...its happened before.

It's sounds like a good idea in theory but then you have to worry about how exactly to work it out, in RL apprentices would watch the master and help out and learn, how is that possible... I am a Master with a "resource-gathering Conglomerates" but I would like to have an apprentice and Have helped many a newbie architects out, but in honestly the novice can make master in about a week if he/she really wants to and has all of the nesscary Resources, but that's totally on the "grind" I have been an arch for a long time, I have amassed alot of good resources, I just hope that the crafting "nerf"(as it's called) doesn't hurt us that much.., but the way that it sounds is like it's not that bad, but just putting a check on non-masters...
