i have not started yet but i have read about the problems people have with enchanting items. Will they ever fix this or is it just going to stay lame?

There is no point to the game when you have nothing to spend money on.

I think if there is a problem it's that Enchant wasn't meant to be end game. Just a diversion while you do other things.

I'm fine with it.

I honestly hate/love it,it pisses me off but it gives me something to do at the same time.

Also look, more people who don't mind the system!

Enchant thread number 44563774563888.. same answer...

There is nothing wrong with the enchanting system. What you are seeing when you look at these forum topics is a biased cross section of enchanting experiences. Not all sides are represented. I myself have had no issues with the current system. Some have had better luck. Some have had worse.

(copied from a post I made in an earlier topic):

Solely from reading the forums here, it would seem like enchanting is a total PITA and is going to cost you like a hundred thousand to get your whole set done, that it's going to be a never ending abyss that will eat your soul. But the thing is, it only seems that way because the only people who come to the forums and post about enchanting are the people who have gotten the short end of the stick, who have terrible luck as far as enchanting luck goes.

In reality, there are probably just as many people who have had very good luck at enchanting, they just go unrepresented here because they don't come here and make topics about it. I probably see like 10+ server notices a day about someone getting a piece of gear to +9, and I'm on the "low" population pvp server.

Long story short, I would be willing to bet that on average, enchanting isn't nearly as bad as this forum would have people believe, that there are just as many stories of enchanting glory as there are of enchanting sorrow. It's just that all we ever see here are the stories of extreme enchanting failure, because the others who have had average or great experiences with the enchanting system don't come here to tell people about it.

I am fine with it. I respect an MMO element that only rewards those that dedicate massive resources into something or are "lottery" level lucky.
I will try it, fail a couple of times and stop. All MMOs should have aspects that reward the best of the best.
I already know I am not going all the way to +12 from the sheer number of whining that has been generated in the forums.
This will only ever become an issue if the game then releases content that can only be completed with said +12 gear. Other than that, why is this a big deal? Why does everyone think they should be entitled to sit at the top with everything +12 along with similarly geared clones?

If Charger had a poor experience with enchanting, he would remove it right away!

having any sort of great experience with the enchanting system and thinking you're somehow better off for it just indicates how much of a (edited) you are that is easily amused by the most basic of systems. If I cared enough I could probably have +9'd all my [filtered] by now or be on to t13, but, it's not worth it, it's not challenging. Even if I got +9 easily, it would have just been a fruitless endeavor because the effort put in to determine whether or not I did was not my own. Enchanting just makes me feel like some stupid zombie who is a slave to the game mindlessly trying to get more gold and fodder so that I can be at the whim to a randomization function. How the hell can anyone find that fun? Sad. This game and the community has become everything it sought out not to be. MMO-FO? rofl.
