Hey everyone, I have a thing I'd like to bring up as an option for item creation. I'm not certain if the past few threads have been looked into on this topic, but I like to think some things are being considered by staff, and that their busy schedules and workloads with regards to keeping this site running are just delaying potential updates or responses.
Still, I'd like to propose a fairly simple change to the item creation process, hopefully something to smooth it out, speed it up, while maintaining the IC difficulty of manufacturing and material acquisition.
At the moment, item creation is bogged down with two full approval processes. First, the raw materials and then second the actual item. Both require tech approval, IC thread, and addition to the profile.
I propose the following:
Items materials need only be approved at tier v to tier vii, following current rules..
At tier I to iv, a 300+ word count prologue or reasonable mention in the item creation thread regarding material acquisition is all that's needed.
This is to make lower level item creation more palatable, and a lot easier on staff, so that they don't have to approve 'wire and electrical tape' as item creation materials for a tier I item.

Would it be possible to have some feedback in this thread just to confirm that it has been noted by staff? I would like to know if this is being considered, already being incorporated via an upcoming update, or reviewed and denied for mechanical reasons.

The point of adding materials was to slow item creation down a bit. Since its the only mastery that allows you to share power with someone else. Also part of your explanation is off. With the exception of expertise items, any normal item can be bought with plot points just like techniques. It should also be noted that you can obtain, in a single material thread, enough material to make numerous items.
Your point on the material approval process is noted though, materials don't really need an approval for the material itself. Improvement is needed for grading of material quality and amount so we may just make improvement the only approval process for materials. I've added this to the list for staff to look at.
