Game Mechanics Return of Refineries

Name says it all, please bring back refineries. They added more immersion to professions. Or at least make them return and only people that choose the crafted gamemode or other gamemodes that make you use crafted items need to use refineries. I honestly loved the refineries.

 

you.. don't really provide much of a reason as to why refineries should be added back besides "i liked them". i think materials auto refining upon collection is a good change so i disagree with this reasoning, and adding them back for just a few people to use is a waste of time and effort really.

i'd instead suggest adding back refineries but giving them a different purpose. for example, instead of purifying your materials and deciding their type and quality, why not instead make them a way to upgrade material quality?

 

No. Refineries as a concept are now applied to alt resources instead, but they were removed for all resources for a reason

 

Is this suggestion just "make professions more grindy?"
If not pls explain.

 

I think an interesting way to bring refineries back would be to use them to upgrade the quality of already collected materials.
For example, using them you would get 30% chance to upgrade the quality of one material (1star -> 2stars / 2stars -> 3stars) and 70% to just loose it.
The process could also give some bonus prof xp for each successful upgrade (or just for each try, idk).

 

God please no

 

If you want to make a suggestion bringing back refineries you should at least explain how your version of unprocessed materials would work
