Project 1999 - Why are dwarves the only race with a FOURTH tier of cultural tradeskills?

Because cultural tradeskills are still fairly new at this point in the game. Practically all of them are terrible. Even using dwarven cultural as an example of "nice" stuff... It's pretty meh gear that wouldn't interest a high level character, something that's true of almost all player crafted items.

Yes by percentage of hours played everyone is rich and has many 60s and raids under their belt. By actual human players though? percent wise? most people are casuals.

So, the chatter is all about how useless everything is and how everyone has all the pimp stuff, but there's tons of new players rediscovering the game every week.
Although yeah anyone who doesn't worship brell serilis? They might not care about cultural armor, but that was my point.

Then there's <Auld Lang Syne>. This is their ideal gear. Or me wanting to rediscover what it's like to be a newbie for an afternoon and considering a giant snake fang a massive upgrade :-p

A good point but cultural armor is still expensive - its almost easier to hit 60 than it is to go down to Fat Cat Mart and buy a full set of your race's cultural armor. I'd say dwarven armor is probably cheaper compared to some, the dark elf armor became a much rarer sight when the blue diamonds became required (and were expensive at the time).

Do these human players have access to plat they're not making casually?

Dark Elves and High Elves also have recipes that are Enchanted AND Imbued. Other races seem to have some combination of the four tiers you mention. Dwarfs seem to be the only race with all four options, likely for lore reasons.

Lol because lore. It's such a great explanation for arbitrary game design decisions.

Are Dwarfs not renowned smiths?

Easy enough. When you feel too accomplished and rich, delete the toon and start over. You will forever love your giant snake fangs.

People really complain too much first it was nerf the barrel roll then it was bring back p99 auctions just stop being terrible stop complaining play the game it was intended to be

Nerf the barrel roll? thats like nerfing the frontal stun immunity for ogres or taking it away from ogres why because that makes ogres too op?? wake up kids
