    Why am I being told I am making exceptional components when clearly they are not....and exceptional ingots ( and don't say it because I got an extra ingot .. because I am not) ...something I am not aware????????

    Getting an exceptional when making a component or an ingot gives you bonus xp.
    It doesn't have the +1 that gear has or have any actual effect other than giving you more xp for doing it. Smelting for example will give you 20 xp per ingot, an exceptional will give you 80 xp but serves no other purpose.

    This is a very unusual thing that is nice, but most people will not understand this. It may be a good idea for them to place an added bit of explanation in every single time you "exceptional" anything that states "you gained a bonus in your experience for this!"

    Something like that. Just so people are not always wondering about why an exceptional can even happen on rough goods that are not finished gear.

    Having a different level of refined materials and components would seriously complicate the game.

    Yes, good point, my friends and I wondered about it for literally months before coming across it in the forums.

    Ok, who's making the feedback report?

    ...the feedback being that no one bothers to read the instructions?

    It might be better if the message were to tell you got a critical success when refining/making components instead of an exceptional item. Then you wouldn't (necessarily) be left wondering why your exceptional item appears no better than an ordinary one, when it is better in the case of end products.

    Yeah, I suppose they'd need to change the messages for food and potions, too, since there's no difference. And a few other craftable consumables I can think of.
