Deconstruction bugged with certain lootgen

[wraxzz]

I deconstructed at least 2 bags full of lootgen last night and almost half of the items didn't give any platinum from deconstruction. I ended up getting around something like 8-9k plat from all the decon's, when vendoring wouldv'e made around 40-50k plat for the lot.
I can't imagine this is working as intended? Surely all lootgen should give plat? I've also two other things, 1, some epic level lootgen items (definitely the ones with single effect names, but providing 2-3 effects in examine window) only gave like 60 plat, which also sounds like poor coding where the payout is based on the name and not the actual power of the lootgen- I cant imagine this is WAI either.
I'm not posting from home so cannot upload the screenshots I took of the deconstructions.

I'll file a bug report for both mentioned issues. Meanwhile it seems like its better to give crafting a miss, at least to avoid losing additional currency due to bugs?

Weapons and Armour should always give Platinum when Dissolved via Cannith Crafting. Its only items with an Enchantment Level (a + followed by a number in the upper right corner) that will yield platinum when being dissolved. Therefore dissolving either Clothing and Jewellery won't normally give you Platinum in return - it'll just [give] Crafting XP.

I should have screenshots of a whole bunch of items that didn't give plat- i'll sieve through this weekend and isolate any weapons/armors.
There is still the matter of some items with single effects in the name but multiple actual effects giving poor payouts like 40 or 60 plat.
Is it WAI that a portion of accessories and jewelry don't give plat for decon?

This became a thing when the crafting system got overhauled. I don't recall the Powers ever mentioning that they'd fix that.

It didn't help that the thread(s) about it turned into 50/50 haggles among forumites about whether it was worth fixing or not.

Good luck, but don't hold any breath on it.

Ah, didn't know it's been brought up before, thanks for sharing.
It is at least good to know that they are (ought to be) aware of the bug. Guess its better to give up hope for cannith crafting till enxt year.

While I was/am one of the ones wishing it would be fixed, I don't think it's a big enough issue to dissuade one from working their CC crafting levels up anyway.

I'll keep that in mind

Just received a feedback email stating that the SSG team has seen and reviewed my bug report. It doesn't give any information on actions taken, but it is good to know that they do in fact go through bug reports, assuming they do actually read it which I choose to believe they do Don't give up on the bug reports fellow players, we are part of making everything good!
