I’m watching my crafting bar. 2.500 Bowl of Apple Sauce. Afterwards it’s 2.500 Bowl of Blackberry Pear Compote, followed by 2.000 Spicier Flank Steak and 5.000 Cup of Light-Roasted Coffee.
Then I’m going to sit there watching my Portable Composter salvage 10.000 items. Then I’ll turn them into 500 Pile of Enriched Compost so I have them on reserve, because it’s such a fucking pain to craft them.
And that’s an easy batch. Ever crafted a gen2 legendary? 20.000 Mithril, 50.000 Elder Wood?
2012 crafting system is no match for 2022+ crafting.
It’s obvious that ArenaNet was desperately looking for material sinks, but begining with Ascended Crafting I really started to wonder how heavy this stuff would become in real live.
