And you know there's information that I haven't seen come out, that that we learned just from conversations with people. Stuff like... did you know Evie that they are greatly simplifying professions next expansion? That they're getting rid of bronze level stuff and silver level stuff, they're only having gold and platinum level stuff. Because no one ever wants anything less than gold and platinum, they're literally just getting rid of them. Did you know that?:

I... no, that's really good for me to know.
I did! Consider that reported, but no one's actually said it.

Comment by EmernoRemove the quality ranks of reagents.Comment by ibmooseEvery time I see a post by wowhead I expect to see a st buff to BM hunter after blizzard literally stomped them into the ground...Comment by Rainy89No one wants less than max rank * corrected that for you.

Just remove crafting quality bring back old professionsComment by LandaiHow about we just get rid of ranks for reagents all together. Honestly the only bad thing about the new crafting system. The reagent bag simply isn't large enough for the amount of crafting materials are present.

Reagent ranks are awful.Comment by ShiyokaUh.. I'm pretty sure "None" isn't a rank, it's an option on the "minimum rank" drop down on the crafting order ui, right? If you select "none" then there is no minimum rank enforced for the craft.Comment by KarthusTeemoThere shouldn't be any "ranks" in crafting. Reagents should just be reagents and crafting items should just be crafted items. If it's not a rank 3 mat or a rank 5 crafted item people literally do not care for it.

We went through this with "let gear be gear" and we're back again with professions.Comment by joshwontwonNo one wants less than max rank * corrected that for you.

The only rank anyone wants is rank 5. We already have crests to determine ilvl. We don't need another layer beneath that.Comment by Nicstar1007Can we get rid of some item types? We dont need explorer, adventurere, veteran, champion, hero and mythic :D

There really isn't a good argument for item qualities in general. Rarer materials are fine, such as the old Purple Lotus and Pristine Hides, as those fit the niche of a higher rank item without completely invalidating lower rank items. If anything, this is simply taking one step back from the neck-deep muck pool that crafting stepped into during Dragonflight; it's a step in the right direction, but going from neck deep to collar deep isn't enough.Comment by SneakattakkI'm apparenly in the minority here in liking how the rank system works. IDK i like how engaging it is to set up crafting the perfect itemComment by Nova5269Every time I see a post by wowhead I expect to see a st buff to BM hunter after blizzard literally stomped them into the ground...Comment by yager05Why not the top 2? That would make more sense...Comment by SouledkRanks, as others have said, are the worst thing they've done to crafting. There really isn't a good argument for item qualities in general.
