I ground Arywyn back to Master Musician and have tested the buff with Skor and Shipwright. The experimentation bonus is tough to prove since I still get more critical failures than I like and not enough amazingsHOWEVER, the resource bonus DOES work. It's not much but there is a difference in my product.
People have raised it with the WS coro (and provided data I believe), but nothing is happening. It's possible that crafting successes were stealth nerfed at the same time the resource buff went live as I used to get alot more 'amazing' successes before the buffs than I do after getting the buffs. I am FS crafter (have been for over 12 months so I know my profession) and never get less than a great on assembly or experimentation. If nothing else in the crafting process is changed I am certain these buffs aren't working the way the were described.

Can you provide some details to our corrs on what's not working as intended? I've seen those posts on some of the crafting forums but none of the AS and WS that I have buffed report those issues. In fact they rave about the new buffs.... So if something's broken it's not something very straight forward and we'll need to get as much information as possible in order to fix the problem(s). I also hope the crafters who are finding problems with the buffs (not problems finding the buffs but problems with the actual buff) are filing detailed bug reports as well.

So wait...
Crafters are making their own novice alts or using guild multi-purpose bots to give themselves on demand buffs, and they are still complaining we are not there to buff them?
You people need to make up your friggin' minds. If you want us to be there to buff you, then you need to give us what we want in return: an audience. What do you expect entertainers to do, stand there looking at an empty cantina for 5 hours on the off chance someone can't get the guild buff-bot to log in?
Please.

Jeezwhat a drama-queen. No, you yourself stated that you had one customer intwo hours. I was saying that perhaps that was because most of those that want the buffs have made their own arrangements that's why you don't see many people wanting them. (I've borrowed your formatting, as you use it it might help make the point I was originally making).
Your being ridiculous and over-reacting, of course I don't expect Ents to stand around for five hours waiting for someone to buff, same as crafters don't expect to have to spend ages searching for an ATK player from an AFK profjust so they can craft to the best of their ability.
I'm done here, I came to ask your opinions about, and discuss,the buff. I've made up my 'friggin' mind, i'm not wasting my time herewith posters all too prepared to flame anything that moves.
