If one has a hickup in selecting their recipe from the scroll down on the generic ascended recipe while also looking at a horendus crafting known recipe dropdown late at night while suffering from insomnia one is screwed.
The recipe costs 5 laurels and 3 gold. It has zero vendor value. It is account bound.
Anet, can we get a more forgiving system with regards to this – maybe a sell back or trade back / trade for a fresh selectionable recipe at vendor? Maybe a red popup like in the actual recipe from the vendor stating you already know this recipe? You do have that functionality, but only after the selection is made with no way of recovering.(You added that self check ages ago for a reason I’m sure – why isn’t it functional in the current system?)
This arcane user unfriendly selection system I’m sure will trap more folks than just lil’ old me in wasting valuable currencies on a useless item.
Please allow us a mulligan for simple screw-ups. Who would it hurt?
I made one already thanks, but that is not the point – please reread my OP.
5 laurels and 3 gold is not chump change in this game even with a player with a healthy wallet.
My point in case you like me are suffering late night woes is that the warning on already having weapons unlocked like on all other recipes does not appear in the first layer of the ascended recipes – the warning only appears after the selection is made, a selection we can not recover from. Hardly logical.
I have submited a ticket asking for my recipe to be reset.
I think it is working as expected – so no bug report.
I think a Dev might want feedback on how this system works from the player end – that’s why I made this report here in the forums exposing my mistake for all to see and ridicule.
I see this lack of warning as no diferent than the “wiping all buffs mesage” after the fact warning that was quickly remedied in SAB.
I just think this needs to be on the Devs radar as I’m not certain how their support staff and Dev staff communicate

Since all the other recipes show if you have them already on a mouseover, so should the ascended recipes. I’d submit it as a bug.

If you’ve already made one can I have some of your money?
