Hello All!!



I'm sure this is the white elephant in the room, but here we go.

"Why are all games trending to the slot machine effect?

Meaning, for instance, this Forge... Why is it always random?

I get that the item level is derived from the sum total /4 =?

(4 epic Items, Lvls 4+7+12+6 = 29 / 4 = 7.25 or just a level 7 Item)

And I also understand that there is a variable with the Items themselves:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">1 boot + 1 shield + 1 ring + 1 helmet -- what does this become?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">It would make a little more sense, (for the players who take their time to craft)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">To allow them to craft what they are working for:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I have taken 4 epic helmets all above level 15 and crafted a legendary ring???? (I wanted a helmet)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I took 4 epic armors and crafted a legendary shield, again not what I wanted. (See photos)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I would suggest/recommend, that the randomness of the forge be tweaked a little bit to take the highest level item and to forge that to the next level.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Exam: All Rare items, Helmet (6), Gloves (9), Pendant (11), Bracers (3) = 29 / 4 = 7.25 Pendant

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">So this is what I have an issue with…   When I take the time and put in serious effort to craft an Item then poof, I get an item that’s not worth the sum of its parts or what was expected or wanted, it becomes a little disheartening to continue using this feature.
