I would definitely like the inspiration gain to be tuned a little better, but your question implies that ZO agrees. Have they said that enchanting isn't working as intended?

Hopefully never. Not everything in the game has to be fast and easy.

The crafter who was levelling enchanting was the first to be able to offer high end items to VRs. Those of us focussed on armour are still to catch up to that kind of level as it is mathematically impossible to have researched all 8 traits in all seven pieces.

I'm not complaining, btw, but L50 crafting is irrelevant - it is the researching that counts. Just as being L50 in provisioning at what? L10-L15 is also pretty irrelevant if you don't get lucky with a (one specific?) recipe.

They've stated that they intend to bring it in line with other professions. I would cite that but I'm on a phone.

Hopefully never....
Why does everyone always want the easy way for everything. If you just get everything you want without any work it feels worthless and many will leave because they have already achieved everything they wanted.

Kind of true, but the benefits from a legendary glyph vs. a common glyph (while fairly significant) aren't comparable to the set benefits that other crafters can offer.

It is balanced with the other crafts:
CLothing, WW, BS you need the motifs and research traits that takes a lot of effort to master it
Alchemy: is easy to level but time consuming to keep up
Provisioning: you required recipes and is well easy to level but the purple recipes are impossible to find

Enchanting: you need 3 runes you find quite easily apart from rare aspekt ones. There is no research for traits needed. You gain material constantly just through questing as you get it as glyphs. Yes deconstructing does not give you much exp for white glyphs, but if you trade rarer ones crafted from other players you can level up very fast. Also when you have reached enchanting lvl 40 that is all you will ever need. So overall it is pretty balanced.

It takes longer to be a master crafter in BS, clothing and WW than in Enchanting. Alchemy and Provisioning are a joke in comparison but I still think enchanting is very much balanced.

PS I was not saying that to the OP but there is a general consent in the forum that wants a lot of thinks easier such as vet ranks. It is just my general observation of the forum community.

Agreed.

However. Every other crafting profession that is leveled primarily through deconstruction has a couple of benefits that enchanting doesn't, namely research inspiration and rare item drops. Without trading/buying, you will only ever find common glyphs dropped in the world. And if that were the case in any other profession, they'd also be much slower to level.

Right now, the difference in leveling speed between enchanting and every other crafting profession is fairly dramatic. It's not insurmountable. But it's enough that I would not object to some fine-tuning. Either allowing mobs to drop green-or-better glyphs with the same frequency as they drop other green-or-better items or increasing inspiration gain from deconstruction of white glyphs.

Agree.
And I hate to say it, but is it maybe possible that everything else levels just a little too quickly?

Just spitballing here.....

When will enchanting be made easier?

They will bring it line with other professions when the maximum amount of people will have worked their backsides off to level it no doubt.
