Huge crafting glitch/scam
Ok, so I made a post wondering why some items I have don't actually show up checked off in the crafting screen, turns out that some people are getting scammed and don't actually know it. Here's how it works (I'm posting this in hope that people actually stop purchasing/trading items until this is fixed).
As it turns out some green items and their recipes show up as the exact same item. Here is an example:
Basic Magician's Wand; I don't have the materials for it but can Buy, so I click buy and suddenly I have it but actually I have the recipe and no real way to tell them apart except when crafting (or stashing).
Here is example 2:
I have 2 Basic Wing Shields, but only one was actually crafted and can be used to create something else. I can sell them both in CS. This is where people are getting scammed because one cannot be used to craft, just to create the wing shield.
Proof that stashing is the only other way to tell if you have been scammed:
I hope this helps some people and answers the question why some items that you actually own are not showing up checked off. I guess this thread goes out to the person who scammed me; not sure if you knew or not, but without you this all wouldn't be possible (at least until someone else noticed it).
Edit: A possible solution would be to remove the recipe checkmark completely; make recipes drop (maybe a bit more often for lower level equipment) then the recipe gets added to your crafting list permanently. For instance, everyone starts with a blank crafting list. When you get a recipe drop it lists the items you need to create said item. You then find these items if you don't have them and create. As it is now the buy button on the crafting list is glitched (you can buy an extra without the materials, like a buy one get one free), so just remove it and only have the create button after all the materials are gathered. Recipes could be quest items (like the cyber quests for cyber items).
