Losing an enchant level you have received can soon set you back from +10 to +0. Last few games Ive played the enchant system has been so severe I no longer play the games.

There is no fun playing a game and ending up frustrated because RNG rules the game. My opinion is if it is easier for all to reach +12 then it just keeps the game a lot more balanced than just favouring those players who can spend major hours farming to make the money.

So... don't pander to players like them, who wanted and like the change.... Instead, pander to players like you who liked the old way and/or don't like or don't want the change as implemented...?

Wait, when did we start getting free items?

You make a great point! Which is why I suggested what I suggested. Instead of having it a Vendor money sync, why not benefit the players who work on crafting!

Here, since I don't think you actually read the announcement, let me post it for you.

Certain items can be enchanted in TERA to increase its effectiveness. The change we will be implementing is the removal of the chance that an unsuccessful enchanting attempt will decrease the item's enchantment level. ***This means once you earn that enchant level it is yours to keep***. In order to offset this change we have introduced 3 tiers of Alkahest powders: one for enchant +1 to +6, one for +7 to +9 and one for +10 to +12. Obviously the cost of powders will be increased at each tier. Our goal here was to keep the cost for getting these items similar but remove the frustrations that random numbers can cause and let you keep what you have already earned.
