The sheer amount of Materials needed to craft one single v16 Piece is ridiculous.
How do you(ZOS) expect us to properly theorycraft if we cannot get access to gear at all unless we like to farm 24/7 for materials...


At least reduce the amount needed to smth like 30 for small and 40 for big pieces.
Another Solution would be that you give us unlimited amount of Materials on PTS, so we can at least test there propperly.

    Crafted gear is only one piece of the puzzle though. What they did is they basically made it equally hard to obtain as dropped gear.

    I need to be able to easily buy a big old stack of whatever mat and build me a set of Eternal Lol so I can test it, decon it and build a set of a Thousand Thruths only to decon that.

    It shouldn't be hard to get the base mat itself

    I am a crafter and since IC people have completely stopped ordering experimental gear. People just order one-two vr16 from well known sets at a time hoping for the best.

    Limiting base materials has been a very stupid decision. It's the very decision which turned fun game to chore. There is still chase for legendary gear, which is ok. But chase for white gear is not.

    I personally think that the mats to make a VR16 Gear should be around 40 - 50 pieces,

    That would be fair,

    Also only getting one piece when deconning an item is ridiculous,

    You should get back 1 third of what it takes to make an item,
    That would be more reasonable..

    I'm a theorycrafting addict. I get my fun trying different sets and builds in pvp. My bank and muels are all full of gear but now zos ruined my fun. I don't mind doing a little work but i don't like pve and I'm not grinding that much for the new gear. Lower the cost or increase the mats from decon zos!

    Easy

    With a *** and bored content of IC, if they don't do that, in a couple of weeks, nobody continues playing that ***....

    In this way, you are forced to play IC to farming during hours and hours.....
