Hello all,
 
first i want to say that i really love many changes, especially with the new stat system. Beside of the technical issues like lag and stuff like this, i have only one mayor problem. The Crafting.
 
I really liked how i could customize every part of gear in the past. When there was a blue chip i could choose between 3 stats or with green/fire it was even lot more. So i had a lot of freedom i really liked.
 
But today i started crafting and after i did some work i realised, freedom is gone nearly to zero which makes me sad. Don't get me wrong, the idea with the elementals is pretty good but i give you an example below.
 
Look at this item i got to craft (It's german but just look at the elementals):
 
 
So, i got two red fire slots. All places were automatically filled. I choose the second fire slot and want to select something that fits but there isn't any stat i can use left!
 
All i can do is select something which gives me a higher chance to fail. This item has alsways a chance of at least >30% to fail until i lower some rates. So this item is completly rubbish because i can not choose something other which would make more sense, without loosing it's capability. All materials are wasted because i will never get a good item because of this. So i have to waste my mats and try until i get something which fits.
 
The reason what is bad with this is, i have no freedom. Yep, i can choose talents to prevent elementals to pop up but it limits me so much, that i end up using items like simple receipts like in WoW with the difference to choose between more dmg or supportpower. Every other stat depends on randomness.
 
Problem is not the system itself, only the stats i can choose of. In the past i had 3 colors and 3 and more stats to choose from. Now fire is 1 and same for earth. This just makes no fun =(
 
I'm just wasting materials, time and lost fun. It's cool to have the options to craft for lower level depending on its energy source but when i want to craft something i want to create it how i like it and not how i'm forced to craft it.
 
There should be more options to select from or give the chance to select another element. It feels so limited instead of the old system =(
 
Hopefully you get what i mean, my english is not so good and im sorry for this. My girlfrinds is only crafting beside of little farming/leveling. Forced into craft in one direction just made her quit and after i tried this too with my outfitter, i can fully understand.
 
Or am i missing something important? Will there be changes in the future or will this stay like this?

			Yes I get what your saying the old crafting system was far easier than it is now, this new system theyve added is just awful, cant customise the way you want, cant overcharge cos failure rate just instantly kills it, so have to undercharge, rarer cores no longer give more power like they used to, now if you wanna craft something you have to use the awful stats they wanna give you and undercharge it just so it dont fail, and thus resulting in a poorer grade weapon than one that was far better before this f2p change.

			Yep crafting is broken the DEV's no it we pointed it out in beta and they ignored it. Don't expect a fix anytime soon.
