Guild Wars 2

Just leveled weaponsmith from 6 to 400…6 levels? I understand that they don’t want people leveling to 80 this way and that it was nerfed….but 6 levels? Is this a bug?

No. You gain 10 levels from maxing to profficiency 500 now.
IT also depends a little bit, which level your character is.

No it is not a bug. With the introduction of the higher end-level of crafting the xp for the levels before was reduced, so to receive now the same amount of xp as before you need to level it up until the bitter end.

It is not a bug. Leveling all 8 disciplines will give approximately 56 levels.
