Status Cost vs Awarded and newer players getting shafted. Needs Attention.

Lower the cost or increase the rewards by a lot. This has a lot of people jammed up and they can't even really think about playing a competitive alt atm.

There is another thing that is complete and utter trash when it comes to the research side of things for tradeskill. A friend of mine reset their tradeskill class on accident using an old bauble in their bank and they lost ALL of their research from the NPC's. Not just the recipes being gone from their book... that would have been fine. But ALL of the research cost and time was reset. They have to completely research every item again from scratch rather than just buying the books that were already researched.

Fun times guys!!
