Why is some crafting still broken?

As my video link shows.  The masterwork stat upgrade is broken.  I really don't think it's RNG as I was trying to create this one item for close to a half hour with a 40% chance of the stat upgrade from heartwood which is supposed to boost stats by 10%.  Not once did it proc.

How could the game be out for this long (coming on a year soon) and this has not been fixed?  I love this game but certain things like this not addressed for this long really tick me off.  I have heard of certain ability passives not working as well (some of the manaregen passives for mages).  But I haven't tested those as this is about the crafting.

    Because the savegame "knows" what will happen next... ie whether that 40% will or will not be successful. 

    Craft 3 things (without reloading the game) with 30% chance and you'll find that one of them will drop, but they have deliberately coded it so that you can't use save/load to guarantee 100% chances out of 30% or 40% chances. It isn't broken - they've prevented you from cheating the system. 

  • Also, the 10% Stat increase isn't that great compared to some other abilities that can be granted by Fade-Touched items, (such as Hidden Blades and Guard On Hit).
