So what is being wiped?
Nothing man
I have 2 theories, they try to kill game because population dropped too much or they simply prepare ground for shop so they dont care about current white rabbits, because they will add some expansion and get new players who will buy boosters in new system.
So the update to that dev blog about expertise clarifies that all current progress will be converted to expertise so not sure how you are losing progress. Really the only folks who will be punished are those who bought gear that is like 590 and your HWM is 520, your gear will then be 520 rather then 590. So really, the crafters are being punished there, but I noticed on expertise gypsum there is a way from Trade Skill Aptitude Chests (whatever those are, so I feel we are only seeing half the story at the moment)
i’m saying this for 2 weeks already…
They are preparing the structure for future cash shop.

We’ve seen this question pop up a lot since the post and to clarify, your HWM progression will not be reset and any HWM you had earned will be converted to Expertise. Thanks for your feedback so far!
Wait…oh my…lol
I quit the game earlier this week because it just feels so shapeless at 60 and all over the shop as a game lacking in coherency to me, I still read and follow here because I had hope it would improve the game further enough to make me return, this though made my jaw drop this morning reading this, its a terrible idea and I hope I can explain why below.
You have to stop punishing all current gamers by changing the in-game systems on the live game, leave them as they lay and don’t actively make them worse for the players you have, if your going to make changes, introduce them in with another tier of gear or level that your going to be inputting into the game and learn the lessons, you have countless players saying its bad here giving feedback already based on what has been said, don’t be like WoW and implement these systems regardless of how people feel as it leads to further ruin when you just frustrate the playerbase because you “know best”.
From my POV I already felt punished recently because I took my time and have not zero lifed the game to now have crafting made much more difficult for me to level now wanting much more expensive material routes to get it done, others before us just benefit from being able to have ploughed through the system, it feels like your punishing us with those changes if we have taken our time with the game
On another note - Lots of threads screaming about Expedition Orbs here and nothing was announced just a bit of minor tinkering to slightly lower mats a few weeks back, same for crafting itself, its way too overcomplicated in places for the item it makes, theres threads on that too, do you show any signs of listening though and changing those systems ? No and thats worrying to me, I dont want to invest in a game further where the rug is going to be pulled from underneath us constantly and the devs are seemingly hostile or feeling more superior to the player-base.

this is going to suck.
literally just spent gold on upgrading my gear since i cant find anyone to do hwm runs.
also wouldnt that just royally screw up the entire jewelry market since its basicly impossible to level up hwm for that without being a guild crafter?
Based on your expert analcysts, should we all be quitting the game and getting our pitchforks for the devs?
man, this is a huge blow to the PvPers atleast I knew i could buy good gear. Now I have to take part in this half ass thought out watermark system or get bored and stop playing. I wish this game was like any other MMO and just had raids and dungeons for gearing. Watermarking is brutally boring for me. The design decisions were pretty good until this.

I like new Expertise system. The only worrying thing is crafting price - 600 g for one Cast, really? And how many level it gives, 1 level? 60g I can pay, but 600g is big money, I would better save them and continue to loot Elite chests for free.
Looks like topic starter wants “Win the game” button for free. No, we won’t receive that because if it will be no more goals, people will leave the game.
dude that guy is right and he is not saying you should stop playing, if you enjoy being handled this way, I’m happy that you are happy
I’m losing progress because I spent all my time getting 5 crafting skills to 200 so that I could craft my own gear (currently 592gs). By spending all of those hours grinding skill lvls, I neglected(I never even wanted to) farm my high water mark. Everything is around 540 or less. So I will be losing around 60% of my progress from 500 to 600 gs.
Also, the aptitude thing is cool and all, but whatever you will be able to craft from that will still be effected by your expertise

Dude you can do whatever you want, they where announcing that in alpha/beta. I’m talking facts not feelings like you. I know that you are hopping but thrust me in life hope disappointments are sh…
where did you see 600g per cast? did I skim over it?
Oh but you can do dungeons… just spend 3 hours a night farming portals so you can hopefully make some corrupted lodestones…but wait the tuning orbs are on a time gate also you can only make so many so often…
Ok, I have some constructive feedback that I’ve seen many players complain about since this announcement. Which is to keep crafting relevant.
Crafting takes time and is incredibly rewarding, hard work and effort, finding rare crafting materials and schematics etc. I urge devs to keep crafting relevant.
Players who’ve invested most of their time leveling crafting feel betrayed and that they’ve wasted their time.

This is when I quit you need to be in large groups to farm water marks and my server is dead and btw I don’t want to be forced to farm watermarks so when you reduce my GEAR I paid a lot of GOLD for I’m out for good.
It’s 600g for 1 level. So what kind of mental gymnastics will y’all jump through to defend this now.
yep im screwed too on my dead server.
nearly impossible to get anything going.
took 2 weeks to just get well guardian done… 1 day before the update lol.
