One thing from the other side: I am putting up work orders without all ingredients, but I make sure to cover the cost of them. Like gold Silken Gemdust currently goes for 13.32, and for the Unstable Elementium you need 25, so I put out work orders with over 500g commission. I know that a lot of crafters have stuff lying around, maybe even lesser quality. As long as the commission covers the cost plus some extra it really should be fine.
I hope theres no cap to how many people can be ignored for work orders with the amount of people putting in 100g or less on commissions that cost way more than that in mats. Basically trying to get the item for free. Right click, ignore. Byee.
This change is nice. Instead of wasting mats on alts to level up professions I can waste them on someone that can actually use it. Who else created Dracs over and over just for free 5 sparks for leveling? I can't be the only one.
And yet they kept the requirement to provide the BoP mats - removing those instead would be better at this point in the patch IMO.
I think a lot of you are ignoring that there is a new crafting orders NPC in The Forbidden Reach. I'm not sure what it's meant to do without having an AH NPC there too. AH mounts exist but there are no AFKers at the moment. So people chuck up orders without mats.
Do people NOT know you can use friends/guildies or even your own alts to place personal orders for weekly quests? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I've been doing that since I got access to those weeklies on every toon. Just send 2x / 3x (depends on profession) personal work order for items those are cheapest to craft and be done with your weekly without worrying about scams or spending your time keep checking public orders.To make it "double dipping", sometimes you get your crafting weekly for the items that can also be done via public orders. Use alts to place the personal order for same items, and you get those in the mail. Just send them back to your crafter and you can do Public Orders weekly AND crafting items weekly super easy.
Baffling and dreadful change.If you want your items done for free you can use personal or guild orders. This has just made public into a taxing experience for anyone wanting to do crafts since you need to police if someone's sent materials or is trying to get a max slot bag crafted by contributing the few copper worth of thread and leeching the cloth.If Blizzard are going to add a change like this they needed to also add a search / toggle function on the public orders to filter for provided materials or not. Idiotic change to push it without something like that.
Change is kinda nice.I think the main issue is that people just look at the commission and *click* *click* *click* and screw themselves over.The orders themselves clearly show if the mats are provided or not, and also gives you a popup warning BEFORE you craft to say 'hey, you are going to use your own mats if you click yes, still wanna?'Filled quite a few orders with providing my own mats (scribe, jc) and even done a couple of summoning orders with my mats (seemed odd was getting blacksmith drops).
I've given up on dragonflight crafting, the system is just not how i want to play.Spamming chat to get orders to get yourself known is not game play I am willing to engage in.The public order system is still useless and not having to supply mats has made it worse.My fix would be for public crafting orders is to be able to set item the quality level and remove the inspired mechanic, you know what you are paying for and you can only accept if you have sufficient skill.
Awful change. Absolutely dreadful. I've seen so many people posting orders and not including all the materials .. and their tip doesn't anywhere near cover the cost of making the item. It is still not really obvious which orders don't include all the materials - there should be a filter crafters can use to only show those that include all materials, rather than having to wade through the number of chancers.I've seen stuff on there where they've tipped 50g .. but the cost of making it because they've not included the materials is closer to 3k gold. And that's not including for items that can't just be crafted at the main crafting table, but you have to go somewhere else first to make it. I've just started putting people on ignore when they put items up without all the materials - stops them showing on the list, at least (although it still counts them!)
Someone put in 2 orders for 2 rank two ultimate power cauldrons requiring 300 of the potions. They were only tipping 100g each order which is not nearly enough to cover the cost of each of the 150 power potions required for each. Even if I were to use rank one elemental power potions I would be 5.4k gold in the hole. Rank 2: 6.3k or 22.3k for Rank 3.Explain to me how this is a good change, Blizzard?
All the people on my realm putting in orders for tuning forks but they don't supply the fork ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore...
