Profession Bug

tazz4now

I just noticed that when you cancel any profession or gathering task there is no refund of gold spent, I am hoping this is not WAI, as it is hard enough to get the required amount of gold to do the professions in the new system without having to lose it when we cancel a task, I hope this is something that can be fixed quickly.

I am not sure if this is happening with masterwork since I am not able to do that yet, maybe someone that has it can check if it's happening there too

Good luck with that. This team doesn't fix bugs. They just lie to us and tell us things are working as intended. Now they want us to trust them to rewrite the whole game with mod 16. How do you that will turn out?

I don't expect they will fix it. It would be good if they do but I doubt it.

In the meanwhile, my workaround practice is:
1. try not to cancel immediately.
2. If I want to cancel but can wait for the current task to finish, I move/mail the needed resource away so that it will be auto cancel when the current task is done. To speed it up and if the task is crafting, I use morale after I move the resource away. For the extreme, move all your gold/silver/copper to the shared bank. Everything will be canceled in their next cycle.

@plasticbat I didn't even think about your suggestions, I will start doing that thank you, I can do it when the box is full and then it won't auto start again, I don't expect a fix either or an answer from any dev about this, they wanted a gold sink and this got them a big one, the only reason I am even doing professions right now is to get some stuff to donate to my guilds coffers and to get enough to sell to upgrade to level 4, I found the cheapest way too do this (for me) was to get myrrh (sp?), that is one of the highest selling resource and only 1 ingredient to make, plus the AD crates, I just have all my characters making the myrrh and send the resource to the one I want to upgrade
