Deconstructing Items That You Made

Is it too much to ask that when you deconstruct an item that you made on the same character, you get all of your materials back? Because honestly, it really bugs me that it's so expensive to make an item, yet you can't get anything back once it's been cycled out.

    This would result in an endless grind that would power level your crafting. You would never run out of mats so you could hit level 50 in one day if you kept deconstructing and then building items.
    I don't always drink Skooma, but when I do I go to the Southwall Corner Club. May you walk on warm sands my friends.

    Exactly. I could just sit there and grind the heck out of making the same thing over and over and over and over and over. Who cares how little I gain from each time I craft, it'll just be a risk-less process.

    It's incredibly easy to level crafting anyways. But when it takes 110-150 materials PER item to craft now, and tons of tempers, it's stupid that you can only get 1 ingot and 1 temper when you can deconstruct it.

    Not to mind materials would drop in price, as you would only need one set of materials and for that level range just constantly update your set each level with no cost/harvesting.

    It'd be also economical issue since you would only want to gather specific amount of tempers and materials and you'd be set for the rest of the damn game.
    Today we make our stand. Today we take back the Ruby Throne, which is ours by ancient right and the blessings of the Divines.

    How?

    Make, deconstruct, remake, redconstruct, remake... You get it. Makes you able to level blacksmithing etc. in like, what: 3 hours?
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    That being said when you decon VR16 gear it should be like every other set and give you up to half of the amount used to construct it. As it stands you can put 140 ingots into a heavy cuirass and get 8 back on deco. 50-70 would still be a substantial reduction but not the mind-numbing amount it is now.
