So, basically the people who worked their butts off before the "stepping stone" recipes like "health puppet" and what not, those players get penalized in diversity, because we didn't have our hands held through the tough parts, we had to grind out hundreds of the same green recipes to reach max. The players who are newer, and got the easier recipe list, those players are going to get ranked higher in diversity automatically.
At this point, to rank higher in diversity, i would have to go back and craft however many extra of an item that is admitted by support to be a worthless item just to help reach max crafting, in order to rank higher than some people who have played less than 1/8 the time?
That seems like a logical way of doing things.
Before anyone says "oh you joined today", i hate forums and only joined to say that this is a huge slap in the face to all long time players.
