Why didn't they have shrapnel require using a refiner, and adjust the ratio so that the slightly-better-than TT refiner(s) came to a 100:101 ratio after the refiner decay? Obviously the most eco refiners would give more ammo/shrapnel, after factoring decay, and the TT refiners, less than 101% results.
This would have spurred renewed interest in better refiners, encouraging more crafting of them, and more mining of the materials used.
But then I thought about the tiering process, and wondered why it wasn't designed to go through the refiner system either.
Sure in this case, since there's a skill/profession issue that was involved, I can see bypassing the refiner that time, but...
I guess my main point is...
Why is the refiner system being bypassed in new systems that clearly seem made for it?
Of course refiners(L) would be introduced, thus encouraging a more long-term cycling on many levels, mining, crafting, and usage.
Or, are you just slowly removing/reducing the refining process from the system?
And for those who can't read, allow me to quote the part I'm sure many will miss:
