Crafters beware - No skill awarded

I created 23 steel shields and received 0 weaponsmithing XP even tho the tooltip states it should reward 330. Other steel items appear to be working such as the great axe which rewards 540, make sure you test things before you craft as I’m now wondering how many other things I received 0 xp for. This happened at Monarch’s Bluff which is owned by my faction atm. It’s baffling because other items appear to work, anyone have any ideas what might be going on or is this just another bug?

I contacted support, transcript below… a bit comical tbh.

Like I tell my buddies that find new bugs daily: “add it to the list and wait for a fix.”

There’s more bugs than people realize or know due to lack of communication.

Recently, I was added to the long list of people waiting to have their PvP Rank unlocked. Mine got bugged at 15k Tokens. Friend got stuck at 25k Can’t buy lev 60 pvp gear :frowning:

At this point expect nothing works as intended and be pleasently surprised when something does work. It will make you happier in the long run and maybe some day the game will be semi fixed.

Thanks for the replies, it really does suck that so many things are apparently broken. I hope that we get some communication on timelines for some of these issues.

Any insight into how many developers are actively working on this game?
