Anyone else disappointed with crafting options?

I'm happy with them because I have most from last years so now I can only focus on the new items and that way I can get more into my designs. :)

Yep am disappointed. Why did they have to put items we already have in there with the message you already have them.? Why not have some sale event added at some point for the ones who don’t have the items? And add some different prizes to the crafting section. The mind really does boggles

Lets hope they are reading everyone output on this event and hopefully they learn from the mistake they have made. Also make a post telling everyone to go on strike for this event and see what happens. :joy:

Since they do that level up crafting system I'm not very happy about it, because you have to craft items in an amount you don't want/need. But this time it's even worse. There are so many things I do already have, so to get to something I want, I have to craft even more stuff I don't want. At least not in that amount.
It would have been helpful if you would jump to the next craftable item.
Big bummer

You can. Once you've collected enough of the crafting currency, just click the box to the right of the progress bar in the crafting menu (the one that tells you how much currency you need to get to the next level/item). You'll level up just by using your currency with no need for crafting anything.

At the cost of spending crafting materials.
While helpful, not economical, I get the base argument:
If none of these items have multipliers let us craft whatever we want when we want.

The tier system when introduced was not met with much enjoyment, and is something I consider very pointless, we will eventually unlock everything, let us craft whatever we want.

I agree. If they are going to reintroduce items, I wish they would have put them in the last level so we didn't have to buy unwanted things just to level up past items we already have.

The saving grace is the bats for me. You can never get enough bats and they really are the finishing piece for any Halloween area.

I’m annoyed because it says I already have the mideaval rich house & I do not. Never seen it before, not in my inventory, don’t have it.

If you played last year, then it is likely you already have it. Have a look near the top of the second page in this thread:

I'm ok with having some repeat items as long as the main items are new. I like that there are lots of pieces available for building a magical school/castle if one so chooses. What I don't like is that fact that the ultimate prize, which you would think should be the best, is a repeat and unique at that.

If we were jurors, the judge wouldn't allow us to be disappointed based on already having all the unique items. That's prejudicial against items in our inventory.

However we wouldn't be jurors would we? We clearly KNOW the items and therefore have a relationship with them, our judgement is biased. See, we know the items are guilty, but we cant charge them because of "Double Jeopardy", this becomes more difficult because we are too close with the items.

Darn you McGarnagle.
