You forgot #Trollpost (you)
Stuff being broken isnt #hardcore. Player crafted stuff is a super important part of a healthy server economy. This sort of thing being broken for this long, when so many people have upvoted the bugtracker, and still unconfirmed, is almost conspiracy worthy.
Do the devs not want us to craft? I mean if its meant for us to suffer trying to craft, so you can better control the economy just let us know so we stop beating our heads into our keyboards. Seriously. If crafting is intended to be this bad and broken, tell me "yeah this is how we want it" ill stop posting about it, and stop crafting, as I swear its like 0 fck given by the devs. Help us out here.
