Is it just me or you guys having the same problem as me with salvage? Im sitting here with over 400k rough diamonds and its building up for everyday that goes by. If u are an active player, the salvage is simply a useless function since u can never get your diamonds.
That also means that so many many drops are useless. Also the chest and DD is useless for same reason. And no point of playing dailys for diamonds either.

I really don't get a lot of astral diamonds to salvage and I am an active player. I do a couple of dailies and get to about 12K a day normally and sometimes buy items off the AH to salvage for other people if I can get a decent deal.
I haven't the feigntest clue how you have gotten to 400K rough AD. That's not something the average player can do.
Would it be nice to have a higher refine limit? Sure.
But truly it's only the elites who suffer from obscene backlog.
Really it depends if you play for the AD. I play and do dungeons and don't exploit or speed rush. I get one or two bound items a day and daily rewards don't normally exceed 24K (though they can if I play for 10+ hours in a day)

Just 400k RAD? Most of my chars have over 700k RAD and doing dailies and leadership, these numbers are steady rising and 24k daily refine is simply not enough.:(

Well, not all of us cleaned out the AH before the August patch. I'm sitting on 50k rough AD. *shrug* Doesn't matter. Easier to farm CN and sell the items on the AH.

It is the same way with the Dilithium refinement cap on Star Trek Online.
AD is the only real way left to advance my character, yet there are no avenues to gain it on my main character - only rough AD.
And you don't have to an "elite" to hit the cap. Hell I don't even have to log in anymore to hit to hit the cap.
Once you get your leadership to 20, unlock about 6 slots and have a decent amount of workers, you can hit that ad cap every day, without even logging in. I've got all 9 slots unlocked, but only have to run 6 to hit my cap, so the other 3 are used to get me some alchemy potions, and level my 5th profession.
I've barely played the last few weeks - at most i've done the pvp daily a few days a week, no other ones, and I've never dropped below 100k rough ad either.
Would be nice if they gave me some reason to log in, some way to advance. But nope, i've hit the wall now and it's sadly over:
- Just finished my fomorian legend set, so back to best in slot on everything. (even have a full alternate dungeon set, and pvp set)
- Every quest and dungeon complete
- Every achievement that can be earned in a reasonable time earned
- Way too much pvp done. Far too bored of the 2 maps we have.
- Rank7/8 enchants - and while I can get to 9/10 eventually, logging in to speed it up doesn't offer much motivation, the gains are too small and uninteresting, and the path forward is too long to care to speed it up. Just running my professions will get me there eventually.
I think NW and really almost every new mmo developers could learn a ton by looking back at some of the older ones, ones which offer truely unlimited character advancement, in meaningful and interesting ways. One of the best thats still going today is one of the oldest too - Asherons Call. It has such a huge and massive variety of interesting ways to advance your character that you can never truely hit a wall, even several years in.

24k a day + the AD you make from AH sales, isn't that more than enough?

the salvager has been live for around 35 days (excluding any previous incarnations of the salvager). 400k / 35 days = roughly 11.5k rAD a day. definitely doable. you could easily make 400k rAD in 35 days with just leadership tasks.
but let's say that's not the case. let's assume that you're refining every day and you still have a surplus of 400k after refining every day since it went live:
so that would mean that on top of your 400k rAD, you've had to have refined 24k x 35 which is a total of 840k. add to that your unrefined surplus and your grand total of accumulated rAD is: 1,240,000 rAD total. divide that by 35 and you have to rake in about 35.4k rAD on a daily basis. not impossible but it most certainly requires more than casual play.

it hasn't been doing it for me lately. i have to do it manually.
Manual refine only deals with the current day's limit.
Nah, in my case, I refine daily. Game never auto-refined anything.
It just accumulates like this, from seal/DD chest gear (which I started to sell for gold lately) and dailies (which I am planning to stop doing, but then I'll get really burned on CN/MC/T2 runs and will probably leave game in 3-4 weeks. I can stand repetition, but running same dungeon 5-6 times in a row it's very tiring).
Yeah, right after I posted that, I ended up leaving a few hundred ADs unrefined on one character overnight, and it was still there in the morning. It seems like the autorefining has been removed, maybe because of the all the "where are my diamonds!? why didn't I get my diamonds!?" queries.
I sure wish changes like that were documented.
I will still maintain that it's quite possible to earn enough ADs from leadership and invoking at level 60 to hit your cap, and that anything earned over and above simply builds up as a balance.

Also, the real trick to refining is using multiple chars. It works wonders. Past that, raising the cap would only serve to inflate all of the prices in the AH - terrible idea.
LP/rhix foundry stack is the only time I honestly bother with foundries. Same for PvP when those are stacked. Dread Vault as well. I'm more focused on trying to complete sharandar I guess.
