Oh and by the way, just because 90% of the babies flamed this post done think your opinion is the majority cause its not. In fact there are many thousands of crafters who support my belief.
They were in the same boat as us. They spent 2+ years collecting resources and spending millions on skill tapes. All in an effort to get better and make amazing products. The SOE decided to target well you WoW kiddies. They decided that your group didnt want to play fair and made things dumbed down. They made resources less important and skill tapes too cause newb players wouldnt want to play a mmorpg and put in some work to earn their place. Not the generation of drive-through meals and 30 min pizza delivery.
Those players quit by the thousands because they knew that what SOE had done was totally unfair and ridiculous. Therefore they arent around to laugh and flame back at you kiddies.

The OP is an idiot.
In the CU era, it's all about balance. To be balanced, everyone must have the same opportunity to have a saber as good as the best. Before you ramble on about good pearls having the possibility to tune perfectly - spare me, premiums tune MUCH better in general. I killedALOT of krayts, andlooted premium pearls Pre-CU, krayts were damn easy then too. pre-CU you didnt have to worry about healing or dying when a krayt hit you - now you do.

I've got a near perfect tune from a quality pearl, so save your whining.
It's all a craps shoot. I doubt you were here for this, but for most of the tuning ability's life, tuning was absolutely completely random. The quality didn't make a lick of difference at all. Now they've fixed that, and all pearls have the same tuning range, it's just that the higher quality pearls have a bonus on the tuneing table.
You want a better chance to get a good tune, go get the luck FS skill. I have it and have found it to be invaluable.
Do you even know the definition of whining, or are you just following the rest of the sheep and spouting the same one liners?
The luck tree does not affect tuning, genius.
maybe an analogy here will help....
You start a job with a company. You take on particularly tough assignments hoping for a great promotion and raise. You accomplish this and your boss decides to reward your hard work with a brand new company car. You are so excited to show off that shiny new corvette cause its faster than everyone else' boring old station wagons.
Anyway a new guy starts to work for your company. He notices your shiny new corvette and asks how he can get one. You explain that you spent many months and many lonely nights on projects to get it. He then proceeds to whine to everyone that he wants AND deserves the same car.
Of course in the real world everyone laughs at this fool. And then tell him if he wants everyone to be on equal (balance) footing then he should move out of country. Specifically, move to a communist country where those ideals are sacred. Here in the free world we reward effort.
Translation, stop whining and go out and farm for 8 months like i did (and still only have one perfect pearl)

Are you talking from real knowledge or just another one of your salient "analysis"?
And by the way, just because YOU say it, doesn't make it true either. Plus it seems to me you've undermined your original contention that hard work equals rewards as the crafters you mentioned so rudely found out. SOE's decision seem capricious and unbalanced. New Jedi's can work all day long and put in the same amount of effort to kill 10 Krayts to your 1 pre-CU Krayt and still NOT (read, not even possible currently)get a quality, premium or flawless. Get the difference?

You're examples are so full of errors.
Equality is the hallmark of free, democratic society. Maybe read your national documents for a change. The point is the opportunity to excel and accomplish on EQUAL FOOTING, not some sense of entitlement. It seems to me you're the one who wants to be entitled because you "worked harder" on "tougher jobs". Fine, let others have an opportunity to show they can do the tough jobs and accomplish.
And, again, 8 months of killing krayts will net you (with the current system) ZERO pearls above "good". Get the difference?
