Yesterday i got my second profession on Mayhem which already had blacksmithing.
Since i already have a necro with harvesting... and a warrior with craft.. i chose alchemy...
I picked a purple flower and went to the alchemy guy to start leveling my alchemy...
When i made the mana potion it said: you cannot gain any level from this any more.. i was like huh
So i tried making the new spellpower potion... which needs the highest level alchemy of all the potion... and to my surprise ... poof! 1 spellpower potion in my inventory...
I knew straight away that this wasnt right... that it was a bug... so i didnt make any more spellpower potions and decided to report this bug asap (like it says in the rules)
To my surprise... this already was a known bug... but the gods/imps had no idea how to fix it.. so they just left it as is... instead of acting on it.
If i had known this bug... i would have never spend so much time (days!) in the harvesting area trying to level my crafting. And i can assure you... its a pain to level (it caused me to ragequit several times)
Crafting is BY FAR the hardest thing to level... so its fair to say that every RB2 will get either harvesting or blacksmithing up to level 45 (getting harvesting up to level 45 is pieces of cake as a noble) and take craft as second profession. (if you dont then your stupid!)
If i had known this bug... i would have RB2 my necro before my seyan.. since my necro has almost level 50 harvesting.
If i had known this bug... i woulndnt have had general warrior with millions of xp in crafting (which makes the warrior useless)
This bug was never communicated on forum or to me directly... so the people who knew could take advantage over the people who didnt have a clue
When i confronted lazywarrior about this... he didnt really think it was suchs a big advantage since "soulstoning is faster anyway!"
But the mats you need for titanium armor are just laying around and you can pick up 6 every 15 minutes.. ( i cant get 6 level 16/17 soulstones in 15 min.. im glad to get 1 in 15 min!) where all the other mats needed to be mined and have an extremely low droprate... that why its such a pain to level crafting.
And being able to craft your own titanium gear with +16/17 stats will give you a huge advantage in lets say PVP.. or having the giant barb on farm for the 2 scrolls or the ring. Even being able to pent/AT faster
Also you gain xp for the things you craft.. im not sure how much but i think 1 crafted tit armor piece will give around 4k xp
Those are pretty big advantages in my book.

and? if they take advantage does that hurt you?
its not a competitive game |
If its not a competitive game then why are you constantly trying to balance the different classes?
Im pissed off because i wasted shitloads of time trying to get my crafting up to a level where i can make decent armor. Where others got it completely for free. Thats unfair and basicly a middle finger to the ones doing it the way it was intended!
But im sad because of the response the team had when they realized there was a bug... and instead of acting on it.. they decided to leave it as is. Letting people (who knew about it!) exploit the living shit out of this bug.... Which is against their own rules and policy for crying out loud!
Not only that.. but lazy defended the decision that was made... "Cause if they had acted on it straight away by removing the 2nd profession for RB2 it would have pissed alot of people off"
It gives me an idea about the commitment some members of the team has nowadays towards the game. And that makes me sad.
What i think needs to happen is the 2nd profession should be removed... and all the data checked for those who gained these advantages and xp because of it. It will be a shitload of work but if you had acted straight away... the problem wouldnt have been this big
And if you guys wont do it... it will show not only me... but also the others the level of commitment you as a team have towards this game and how you act when people are exploiting bugs.
And then you prolly wont ever see me back again playing this game... not because i dont like it or because other players gained advantages instead of me ... but because of the way the team has (not) acted upon this bug.
