Crafting is back to where it was.
But all those with 12 points made enough schems to last for a long long time that no 10 pt can ever hope to match with the system as it is now.
(For that matter, noone that gets their 12th pt now can match them either, it was a one day change)

You're only looking at the 10 good things that happened and ignoring the other 40 bad things. So it should stay in because it there areparts of it that benefits you (and there are parts that hurts you), even though it nerfed professions like BE and Chef?

The whiners were proved wrong? Hmmmm, seems to me the "resounding customer feedback" that they mentioned as the reason for the repeal of the new system would actually the feedbackfrom the "whiners" you're talking about. Wouldn't that prove the whiners right? I mean, they actually listened to us for once.
Answer me this.. those "whiners" who were BE or Chef... were they right, or were they wrong?
I am not a BE or Chef. I'm a Master WS / Master Artisian / Carbineer. I never plan to be either of them professions so I never looked into it. I never said the system is perfect, but it is better than the system we currently have.

Basically, if you were a 12 point WS on 3/17, your weapons came out much better than before. If you were a 10 point WS on 3/17, your weapons came out about the same or maybea little worse (at least mine did). I only had one schematic come out better that day, though I admit that I wasn't trying to stockpile the improved schematics either. Most of the people here complaining about 'a minority of vocal whiners' are the 12 point smiths who liked the change because it made them 'uber', at the expense of everyone else.
Btw, I'd like to note that most of these 12 point smiths were either against the changes before they were published, or silent. They only changed their position, or spoke up, after they realized the changes would give them a near monopoly on weapons. They use a lot of differentarguments to justify their elitist attitudes, but they are basically just greedy back-stabbing SOBs who are more than happy to screw over the rest of the crafting community for their personal gain (whether it be for money or status).
The lesson for the rest of us 10 point smiths is that you'd better do all you can to get your extra points now (if you want to stay in business, that is). Because the next time SOE tries to push this change on us (in a month or two I'll wager) there will be a very vocal minority of elitist 12 point smiths who won't back the rest of us up. And that is all SOE will need to push the changes through, regardless of what 90% of the crafting community wants.
Okay, I'm done ranting.
