Patch 1.8 Crafting Quests

[Maeloda]

It's become increasingly clear that Trion is transitioning into a place where being Lv 50, at some good point, will be outright essential to do content.

We will see this. New zones will require Lv 50. Possibly a whole expansion worth of content will require max level characters.

I personally don't care, because the majority of gameplay, for me, is Lv 50 stuff. I level so damn fast in this game that there is no other option for me other than to turn off EXP gain. I do weekly and daily crafting, but only on this one character - I don't have multiple 'crafting alts' that only craft. In fact, I do every single form of gameplay other than hardcore raiding (so I'm not at Infernal Dawn, lol) or any actual PvP.

So I'm saying as someone who is sympathetic to what you want, but also not in your position - I don't think Trion will change things, in any big way, towards what you want, any time soon.

It will be ALL about the Lv 50 game, and investing in, at most, 1-2 alts. Not a whole family of alts to share crafting mats with, etc.

Do I like that? No...not really. It just doesn't affect me. It does affect you, and I wish there was a solution that Trion would take, but I don't know. Maybe they would, but I doubt it.

One of the possible band-aids would be to make insights BoA.

I've sent in several feedback reports on the issue, given several options to solve this issue in the first 2-3 weeks after the patch, but Trion somehow does not seem to care about lower levels..

Besides the fishing and survival, I have not seen any content addition for lower levels either.. Perhaps chronicles should be introduced for lower levels too?

But on the crafting.. I got p*ssd enough to level my last 2 40s to 50 and finally got the last 12plaque recipe today. Now it is just grinding ember notoriety for those recipes on 6 level 50s..
Just curious if anyone else out there has all the carceran recipes yet?

Yeah... I am fine with this change. Being able to have access to all recipes on any crafting profession at Lv30 kills markets. Too many people with max professions and recipes.

You are all just being lazy, you want everything without having to put the work in. Go back to WoW.
