Any chance we can make them remote turn ins?
 
I respect that they are limited to one a day, and its already a time sink. Letting me remote turn it in and saving the time to port back to illium would make my life a little better.
 
Not a big deal either way, but it deserves to be considered.

			Meh. I've made it part of a meta game and it becomes kinda fun. Pick-up quest, jump to Malgrave, talk to the lopp, then start my challenge circle which, at the end, puts me back at the exit to Thayd... and I have 6 crafting bags or gear to sell. If they didn't have it set up this way, I may have immediately turned it in and wondered what the point was, wondered aimlessly around Malgrave or just hopped back to Thayd. I wouldn't have come up with the circle and might have ended up hating it the daily altogether.

I wouldn't mind them keeping it as is and upping the chance of bonus fragments :) The blatant time gating is painful...
 
...Or let us start doing the quest EARLIER...like say, level 30-35!

			I wish she wouldn't get amnesia every day and need the Lopp's help again.  Maybe once a week is okay, but sheesh lady, expand your horizons.  Have us get you coffee or wax your hoverboard.. anything.. something.. for variety.

			I would be more than happy if they just fix broken daily quest givers for this. I envy those claim they got 3 or 4 from a bag really it has been a week now and i didn't get any more than a single one from a bag. I was going to try to get expert cooking but it seems its quest giver bugged too and not giving quest daily anymore.

I'm shocked at how little rage there is related to this particular brand of tedious time wasting.  
 
As a weapons smith I mount/fly to the middle of nowhere after taking a taxi to get close to nowhere.  At least other skill contact points are near the entrance for aworld zone.  Mine is a taxi ride and then a mount ride into nowhere.  And I get one fragment a day.  
 
To do all the research and get to the 4th tier of gear - 1+7+10+18 = 36 dailies.  A month and a week, if I could build just the one weapon I'm using all the way through the chain.  But you can't make just one weapon.  
 
Spread out all the blueprints that require different weapon types before I can make the third tier of the one I want, or the fourth tier, and I'm guessing I'll have to do all six weapon types to make the 4th tier I want to make.  218 dailies.
 
Tedious.  Tedious and boring.  Tedious, and boring, and it didn't have to be this way, it was just another terrible way to waste a gamer's time in a game supposedly developed by people with the specific intention of making something fun instead of something tedious and boring.

There's so little rage because there's no point raging.  After a while if you are beaten enough you start to like it.
 
Ask them to move the Weaponsmith one into the Lopp village in Malgrave with the Tailor & Technologist (and whoever else).  They're big on sameness and repetition.  Why should Weaponsmith have to pay for a taxi ride when others don't?
 
Or they'll do the opposite and move ours out into the middle of nowhere too.  It's a risk you take by asking for a change.

I've done 21 of these dailies and never once got more than one data fragment.  Is it still possible to get more, or has even that hope been dashed?
 
I thought the crafting vouchers grind was bad for being a time gate/money sink, although I accepted it.  But after discovering this nonsense as well it's just a bit tiresome.  I don't even care that I have to run out to Malgrave and back, it's the fact you can only get one fragment per day no matter what.

			There's a good reason to gate how quickly you can get gear.  It allows different crafters to have different specializations for months, as people go down different paths.  It means adventures and dungeons aren't immediately rendered pointless from a gear perspective, but that when you have an alt a year from now, you CAN skip farming all those dungeons and adventures.Having to spend 5 minutes (Architects also have to taxi, btw), just means that the only people who do it are people with at least *some* interest in crafting.  If it was a single click, you might have people stockpiling data fragments for no reason.  That could screw with the balance of future dropsThe fact that you can sometimes get up to 5 fragments instead of 1 is an interesting choice.  It should feel like an awesome bonus on days that you get it, but because it's so rare people feel more disappointed every day.  I like it better than if it was always just 1 no matter what, though.

This is a BS statement as currently, most of the BiS gear is crafted. Due to the specials that are built in, and the fact you can fairly easily roll the runes you want, providing you have time and money, they are better than Adventure/Dungeon drops.

BiS Gear is crafted from schematics that require eldan data fragments, which means you can't get them all right away.  That was exactly the point I was making.

			I don't have access to most of the Wildstar sites while I'm at work (somehow the official site itself is the only one our filter doesn't tag as "game-related" lol), but I'm pretty sure that vet dungeon epics blow fibermod out of the water.  I know that T4 Adventus is only just barely better than Fibermod, but part of that is the lack of higher level power cores.  It's screwy, but I can only imagine not intended for the long term game.	
----
			
The main thing is that you can currently cap out Mainstat on that gear at 125, it can get 4 runeslots, it has a special on it, and it's cheap enough to just keep rolling until it's what you want. RNG Vet stuff is not worth the time or effort when compared.
 
Now, if the rumored changes are true.... the Mainstat will be getting nerfed downward, max runeslots will be 2. Although, you will be able to add a 3rd will some unknown device, and you will be able to reroll the runeslots.
 
However, Technologists will finally be getting the ability to make stronger power cores, like Dual Hybrid and Novacite for the level 1 lower. This will actually increase the base power on each item.
 
I'm sure Carbine thinks this will be a nerf (no more 125 mainstat), but it will actually be a buff because you will have armor with more even numbers like: Currently - 125F, 3M, 3SR, 15CHR and they nerf mainstat by 50 you will get armor like: 75F, 3M, 3SR, 65CHR
 
All that does is shift around the stats and make each piece more even and requiring a better spread. The end result will just mean more powerful toons via increased secondary and tertiary stats, which they don't currently get by dumpstating.	
----
			Hmmmm... For some reason I thought that the new and improved cores would only be good for the Adventus gear.  If Fibermod keeps pace, that would be... silly.

Is it by design or a bug that you can only get one daily crafting quest even if you have 2 crafting tradeskills? Initially, I can see the quest available from both daily NPCs, but as soon as I take one the other disappears, as in the NPC doesn't respond anymore. I can abandon the quest and see both dailies again. If I complete a daily the other won't show again until the next day. :(
 
On the one hand I could see taking two crafting skills to get 2 dailies would allow you to max out your crafting faster if you focus on one, but on the other hand the way it is now it really penalizes people who actually want to have two crafting disciplines.
 
Maybe make the data fragments specific to the crafting discipline, so you can only use your daily reward for the craft that gave you the daily quest?

			"Dear journal.  Day 25 of getting this Lopp pattern for this crazy woman in Thayd.  I have 25 of these fragment things.  I see some people cheer that they get more than one as part of their 'daily ration' of these things, I guess the crazy woman just hates Aurin.  Tomorrow I might kill her and take all of her fragments."
