Now all we need is Krakob to make a thread called "The forge: Let's separate facts from fiction"
W.... What?
There's no fiction regarding the forge. There's just people who ignore everything the Sprite update did to make the game truly free to play and then whine because heating is a tad harder now.
There's a difference between "a tad harder" and "takes about 100x as long".
^ that's what we call and over-exaggeration and such things have no place in debates.
I wouldn't be surprised if it could actually take 100x longer to heat a 5* weapon to level 10, depending on how lucky you get with radiant drops and forges.
The problem with Radiants doesn't mean the forge is a bad system. It just means OOO has failed to balance drops properly.
I second Krakob; the Forge is fine mechanics-wise. It's the input, or the Radiant Fire Crystals, that have unfair drop rates.
There's a difference between "a tad harder" and "takes about 1.5x as long".
There, fixed it. You just got math'd.

Welp, time to give you the lecture. Check your inbox when you get on.
Actually it's because of OOO's "failure to balance" that the forge is a bad system. It's prone to abuse, as you may have noticed with the radiants.
Remove-The-Forge isn't the first. There's a name for just about everything negative!
