Since the FA started, I have burned through my stash of CCs and time instants, so that I could craft literally every single recipe (with the exception of the ones requiring blueprints) every single rotation (no, I didn't miss a single one). All of them. You know how many arcanes I have in inventory? Zero. Zip. Nada. And right now our fs is stuck on a pit stop requiring arcanes, staring at the MA clock and wanting a turnover so that we can move. Don't tell me these are good badges. I have more garbage crafted than I could ever possibly want. The only thing I can do with the garbage is disenchant, and for what? Spell fragments that I'll never run out of until the zombie apocalpse. I literally detest this badge more than I have ever detested anything on Elvenar ever, since day one.
I'm not the only one making these stupid things. Most of our fellowship is in the same boat. Yes, we are currently number one on Sinya Arda, and so yes, we've burned through a ton of arcanes mostly in the pit. But we were number one before the arcanes first originated. The only thing the arcanes have done is make everyone frustrated. It's one of the biggest mistakes Inno has ever made. Frustration is not the key to a game's success.
Sure, arcanes are fun if you're only doing maybe 20 of them over the whole FA, or if you aren't going for a number one finish. But when you're in a competitive group that normally loves the FA, you're not going to stop at 20 arcanes per person. You're going to use every single cc you've got, and probably every time instant, too.
I think the ONLY reason Inno created this badge was to push people into buying diamonds. Funny, but for me it's done the opposite. I resent it so much that I doubt I will ever buy diamonds again, despite still loving the game and my team overall.
