werent they promising to come up with a less horrible way to get crafting? i retired just before i quit before (i was level 33 and retired specifically so that i could get smithing for strategus purposes), but now im level 30 again and almost 31, and i still cant craft anything, i have never gotten the message on my main, though i have gotten it a few times on alts.
DUDE! That sucks royal cock. I feel your pain, I've gone multiple gens with out having it. I rolled 2 gens of the same gear and got the tick twice during those 2 gens. I've tried having the same load out for ages and ages, and I've ignored it and just randomly spazed between gear willy-nilly and gotten about the same result FUCK ALL!
