I propose a Crafting Holiday. What say you CNE? Once a year (hopefully more often) crafting gear costs one-half of the usual materials.

I'ld like to hear the complaints whenever the reducing of costs falls onto the first upgrade of a legendary gear. And before you propose a 24hour window of all crafting being cheaper: Sure, I'll save all my material and complain about the lack of effects my gear has until then and spam everything at half the cost. I don't think, CNE is going down that path.

As for the talent: I don't think that's a very good idea either. The players who would be able to purchase those talents are most likely those, who have the most material left over, too. Expanding the gap between veteran and newer players.

In general, CNE has said during an AMA on reddit, their idea is that most players will end up having a legendary gear on a certain level, otherwise crusaders would be too powerful. Also, with new crusaders coming out I am hoping their gear and legendary effects will make them even better than current ones, meaning focussing on a single piece of legendary gear is as wise as to focus on one single formation in the longterm from my perspective.
