Petition: Remove Rare and Raid Loot From Crafting Requirements

[Eladiun]

I'll get the ball rolling:

Shroud mats - OK
Epic Tokens - OK
ToD Boot mats - Meh, I'll let it slide.
Rare Raid Items and Tomes - No way

This is not what crafting is supposed to be I understand some of the recipes were too easy but let's not be totally absurd by swinging it 200% in the other direction.

Please also consider the effect this will have on the sharing of raid loot and need before greed policies that make the community in this game so great.

Typical Turbine overly heavy-handed response.

And to think I was waiting to dig into crafting until this ingredient bag change. Currently happy I didn't waste my time.

Raid items = absolutely heck no not in a million years.

Right now we have a great system where if a raid item drops for a person that can no use it, they will typically put it up for roll, or pass it to somebody that will use it. If the new crafting system is implemented this will kill one of the things I love most about DDO. We will become just like any other greed before need MMO.

/signed as well. This is probably the worst of the bad ideas lately if it uses raid loot/tomes.

For someone who dosn't raid or live in epics....this change will kill crafting for me and the wife.

Just because we don't do raids or epic quests, it dosn't mean we don't like nice things.

Crafting was our way to get some nice bits of gear.

horrible idea as it will keep people from putting raid loot up for roll that they already have.

I thought crafting was supposed to be a way for people who have a life, and aren't swimming in huge stacks of shroud mats, tomes, and rare raid loot, to derive a little more enjoyment from the game.

And I totally agree with the decreased incentive to share otherwise unneeded raid loot with fellow party members.

It could have been. Now it's just more "Them what has, gets."

/So very, very much signed on killing off the obvious money-grab.

I'm very slow to criticize Turbine as a general rule, but this is just an idea so laughably bad on its surface that it's hard to believe anyone ever planned on implementing it.

I know Turbine have been working on Xoriat alot lately, but this truly is a MAD idea. Make us require 5 Mystical Urns, or 10 Mystical Brocolli, or even 25 Mystical Fish or some such for a really high level recipe.

But whats here is insanity.

/signed. I don't run epics or raids, but like the ability to grind my own decent gear. I'll quit crafting if this goes live.
