Crafting Fails at an All Time High

There is something wrong with the crafting professions. With a Legendary Forgehammer you should have a 70% success rate on your crafted items, yet 6 out 7 of my crafted items have been fails since mod6 hit. Sure it's possible to fail that much but the odds against are astronomical. You only have to look at the huge number of failed items on AH to see that many are having the same problem. Same with the extremely high prices of success items. Considering that L25 crafted items take very expensive materials, the ROI is just pathetic and is likely making many NW artisans consider getting out of the business. I can't even gear my own toons, let alone have any to sell.
Please Cryptic, take a look at what's going on here and fix it so we actually do have the chance of success that the game promises. Getting good gear is hard enough without this nonsense.

Sorry
Truly it is folks that have success like yours that make it all the more difficult for folks the game has cursed with failure. I have to ask though, why would you make the old rings instead of the new ones? Perhaps the fail rate is more attached to the L25 stuff.

They were the level 25 rings...I just can't be arsed to look up the full names

So many times I've used 5 or more skill kits on a professions node which supposedly has 75% success rate. My LWer just ended a nasty streak of 6 failed attempts at making gemmed shirts/pants. I had such bad luck making gemmed jewelry in Mod 5 that I started doing the same task on two slots simultaneously, hoping at least one would succeed, and I'd still end up with two non-gemmed rings.
It's nothing new to Mod 6.
That's not such a bad idea. Wouldn't even mind if they made the actual coalescent ward suitable for that (a 100% success option even with white assets for 1000zen basically)
prices would skyrocket then. But yeah having mithril tools (1-2m AD) with 60% chance only sucks.
It's an awful expensive thing to have and not use it. But if the extra bonus really is broken and actually lower your chances it would ALMOST account for the huge number of failures reported by many using one. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that Cryptics math skills caused what was supposed to be a gain to turn to a loss.
And lets be honest, ever since launch that 75% success rate for profession kits has never been accurate. It hasnt even been close to accurate.
Yea I have used 12 pres wards on a 40%(I think was def above 30) chance before. Anyone want to figure out the odds of that?
Over the period of approximately 1 year, the success rate (of getting Rank 3 result) with 4 epic asset stands at 58%, which is close enough to the stated 60%.
Not evening out here. Just ran a ring through and paid for early finish thinking I surely couldn't fail again. 8/9 now. If this is a 70% success then I just got elected Pope. I give up.
The crafting system is barely useable as is...I dont think the tier system is really necessary either.
Wasn't there a vicious rumor floating around that this is not really determined by an RNG to get %, but rather a timer? Meaning 75% of the TIME it works, but if you are in the window of 25% it will fail every single attempt?
This is from the early days, did someone refute this?
i dont think this is the case.
