Daily crafting allowances - give allowances for "uncrafted" dailies

[Baine.9650]

Daily crafting is really unintuitive for new players and they feel bad for missing it just because they don't have the materials or levels to do daily crafting.

 

Can all accounts get allowances to craft extra daily crafting items as a log-in reward? Meaning, if you logged in, you get a +1 to all daily crafting, if you don't use it, it simply stores up. That way, when they finally get the levels, they enjoy the reward of being able to create a bunch of daily crafting goods and catch up faster that way.

 

Put the limit at +1,000 or something too so people are not pressured to maintain the limit.

Once you know that there are daily crafting limits you can plan accordingly.  It's most likely that it is easier to farm the gold and buy the crafted mats you need anyway.  A quick review shows most of the Ascended crafting mats can be bought for less than 4g each.  In fact, currently it is the cheapest it has ever been to buy these.

I feel like weekly crafting limits would feel a lot better. You could still only make 7 of whatever the thing is per week, but at least then people with limited playtime would have more leeway. Wouldn't affect the value of materials. Wouldn't destroy crafting incentives. Might actually encourage more people to spend the time to craft instead of looking at it like a daily investment and deciding not to pursue crafting goals.

Allowances would just undermine the entire point of the time gate.

I think an allowance that caps at some lowish (10?) value might be OK, though even that has some impact.  I know I was crafting ascended equipment a few months back and found I hadn't accumulated enough silk weaving thread - having a way to catch up from missed craftings would have been handy, but would certainly have some impact - especially if new equipment is released and people go on a crafting frenzy.  1/day limits that some.

That said, I do wish the crafting reset 1/week, and you could craft 7/week, but do them all at once.  In that way, I could just figure out what day I am going to spend 30 minute doing all my crafting, instead of needing to do it 5 minutes each day.
