I don’t know why they changed it, but I doubt people saying you could level to 80 just by cooking was the reason. Each crafting job only gives a maximum of 10 levels to begin with. A little nervous to see if any other crafts have been changed.
You already answered that. By switching crafting duties you can max out ur lvl to 80 quickly. Yes only 2 can be active but you can gain exp from each of the jobs by switch them once you were done with one. Cooking was the easiest to get items (thus fastest to gain exp) cause u could just buy most of them. Was never meant to be fast gaining exp frpm crafting. So they removed a ton of the cooking items from sale. This isn’t a bug. This was them balancing the cooking job to match the other crafting jobs. It is just something they over looked during the betas and head starts. Now it is fixed.
Actually I recall a while back them saying you could LEVEL TO 80 BY CRAFTING. It was intended to be possible if you had all the mats and maxed every crafting skill. They made a big deal of it before launch. They seem to be upset by people being able to do the things they said they could.
I’m sorry but the amount of time that is spent trying to level up just to get to those areas to get those materials was hard enough. Now we have to get them from drops. Hooray more grinding. One of the bad points in MMORPGs just got added in this update.
Thank You ArenaNet
Agreed. I’m seriously getting tired of the game getting massive changes or nerfs to things that are fun. I was upset enough that the bread I made on another character was no longer transferable to my main a few days ago. Is the answer really to make people grind even more when there had to have only been a few things that ANet wanted done differently? Why not just get rid of dye recipes altogether if that is what caused people to be unable to even start crafting without massive amounts of farming.
Oh yeah, and I was doing leatherworking too. Thanks for making that harder in the process. This game seems to be dedicated to ruining the few days a week I have off to even play it.
The “easy” way was not easy though. I personally had to grind many levels and a ton of karma to even access the things like peaches off the high level zone vendors. I was working on leveling all day just to live going into the last couple of zones to buy the higher level mats. To remove all this stuff is very uncool.
They removed chocolate and eggs as well, and I heard cinnamon. Not sure what they expect people to do to level this anymore.
