for some reason my account isn't under United States. So that is why I can't use Crysta. I don't know how to even change my account to United States. I never even put my account under North America. Something went wrong on their side.
When they did maint before the open beta, you would get a choice when you first signed into your SE account to choose the country you lived in.
I am guessing to change it you will need to call SE customer services.
I enjoyed the crafting and I thought it was easy, I'm really thinking that the lack of any kind of unified search option on goods (AUCTION HOUSE) is going to slow things down pretty quickly. Most of the worthwhile recipes require goods from other professions, so you either level them all yourself or go bazaar hunting for hours.
This a million times.
It's easy to gain levels as a crafter making small material items, but when you actually want to make something of significance you soon realise its almost impossible to find the items without making them yourself.
For example to make a Harpoon, to make the blade I need to find fish glue, but no NPC's sell it, I have a level 9 alchemist who can make it but then I need to find the fish to make the glue... So then I'm forced to level fishing which fills my inventory with shit i can't sell.
This is where an AH would be great, I could probably either find the fish or the glue on there, but no SE have to be assholes and do this crappy retainer system.
Of course all this effort is for just one ingredient and i have to do this 5 times, at this rate I can't see me lasting past my free month. (unless they add an AH of course)
