THis kinda makes purple materials useless than until 50 where people will actually try and craft for the purple :/

Considering that the Purple recipes are not super fantasic as it is, this becomes a huge money sink without a reward for doing so. Run a FP and get comparable or better gear, use commedations get better gear. Its like they designed a broken crafting system so you wouldn't craft. No feedback to the player, a pattern be damned there still should be a failsafe.

I would like to know what range its even being given, *** is a purple recipe, 1%? LESS?

Fickle? Thats no excuse when you sink truckloads of time and materials into a single recipe to get a better version of it. Skipping the recipe becomes out of the question because of the investment already made, so instead you dig and dig. This system, SPITS in the face of the user telling us that if we want anything we have to be lucky. Crafting is a joke, we are the punchline.

Oh this is just wonderful. I got the earpiece recipe after breaking down 5 more of them. This is absurd, either rubber band the amount of times at MOST you need to get a recipe, or make it a flat amount. Crafting is beyond useless if this kind of system is "as intended"

I'll keep this brief to avoid getting too hot-headed over this problem, especially seeing how my in-game tickets just vanish and I never hear back from Customer Service. Long story short, since the patch I can't seem to learn ANY new schematics through Reverse engineering. 48 Times breaking blue boots for a purple recipe,: Nothing 45 Times breaking a green earpiece for a blue recipe: Nothing others as well but the points made. Bad luck is one thing, but theres either no cap on how long it could take to learn something, with no feedback on the odds or even progression to having better odds. I'm frustrated, I don't even know if its bugged or if this type of bad luck was made possible. In either scenario, these recipes are grey to me, so I get nothing but substantial loss trying to make better recipes. Either way both outcomes are unacceptable and with the added lack of customer service.. well I can't say I will pay for a product like this on a monthly basis. Good Game Design gives the player feedback, there is none. Anyone else have this issue, know if it's an issue or anything related? I'm at my wits end here.
