First let me state, the new qualities for Armor and Weapons are not in game for players, they are in game for me to test with all of the systems and data to ensure it is balanced.  I have had a goal of making the crafting worth while for both weapons and armor.  Due to the update was so close to auction time I was not able to fully explain the new properties and how they relate to crafting so I  will spend sometime doing that for the next auction, anyone into crafting will enjoy the new stuff.

Hopefully in the next week or two we will get things settled on the shard and can get back on some kind of schedule for things.  I personally would like to thank everyone for the last 30 days, a lot of people have been very understanding.
