Screenshot of Forsaken Masters Socket Crafting

I'm showing signs of depression after reading 30 pages of whining, no small feat if the dev's do the same and stay sane...

In my humble opinion, the new crafting system is a huge step towards a (mostly) selffound player like me. So many orbs wasted for nothing. Finally a goal to reach, to work for, not a diffuse and vague option of all in or nothing. No item bricking with useless mods anymore. No more items catching dust in the stash because they lack life. Oh, the possibilities!

Yes, i'm hyped.

Thread called "black market currency traders and kids with dad's credit card versus normal players that just want to enjoy the game without pain"

"black market" is not the prevailing method, by any stretch.

Further, (again), GGG is on record numerous times that this game is by gamers, for gamers. "Gamers" here in the sense of "people who enjoy things being difficult as &*($# sometimes."

It's not MEANT to be 100% casual. There are other well known games for that.

Edit: For the record, I've made 16ex in the one-month without really trying. Just by trading, and grinding, and doing a lot more of trading, and grinding.

Grinding is kind of synonymous with aRPGs. If you're not willing to do it, that's your decision. But I'm a normal player, and trust me when I say that affording to buy a 6L, or making one your own, is by no means impossible. Complaining about the "black market" to me is just another way of saying you aren't willing to grind.

I have to admit that I haven't been as much excited since the beta of swtor (I'm a big fan boy)

the chrom thing is nice i try to 2g1b1r my alpha for 8 level now

if the bought sockets are locked it would be an aweome boost for trollshavs

fusing and chrom prices are reasonable

Am I just being silly???? - how do you put 1500 fusing in your inventory???

Like the current vendors, it can take it out of your stash.

As a side note, in the past this has lead to players thinking that they're buying the stuff for free.

AHAHHAHAHAHA
I'd like to see their look when they found out the truth

"OMG I'm buying those chance orbs without paying any fusings GIMME GIMME" xD

What ppl tend to forget is also that lets say you have a 5-linked shavs and want it 6-linked.
Today you need a spare one or something like that while trying to get that 6-link, since you don't know when/if you will be able to get a 6-link even in 1k fuses.

Does this mean the current way of working an item will be gone? I have 6l a piece in as little as q fus! I hope not!

no, it's an additionnal way to link items, current one is still working. ( that's why complains are not understandable )

285 coloris for three red sockets it is a pretty funny, how much for 5 reds 50.000 ?

I only hope this new changes will not have bad impact in personal crafting like even more lowered success to achieve 6L to justify that prices.

Do you plan to provide some crafting discount on prices for your crafting rank with crafting masters (higher rank lower pricess)?

Well.

Assuming you know that the average 5L takes 80-120 fusings to get, you give yourself a buffer of at least 80 fuse on top of that. So, 200 fuse.

Then you farm up ABOVE that, X amount fusings of your choice. Let's say, another 200, giving you 400 fuse total.

Spend your first 200. Don't get a 6L? No problem, use your 200 buffer fuses until you 5L again. Then grind back up to your 200+200 buffer. Or play it SUPER safe and keep a 300 fuse buffer.
