Smithing is broken

[stevehoos]

Yea but maybe you wanna use smithing to make money... How do you decide how much money is cheating and how much money is reasonable? It's hard to decide yourself... it should be something for the rules of the game to decide...

Exactly!

I'm not saying this shouldn't fix it because they really should. I'm saying since you are aware yourself of the bug you can choose not to sell those crafted javalins and just smelt/discard them away. If you are incapable of self restraint, that's on you.

There is two kind of problems in a game : the exploits, which require the player to go out of his way to abuse, and the design flaws, which require the player to go out of his way to avoid.
The first are the ones where you can say "it's up to you", the second are the ones where the game urgently need to be fixed. Get your priorities straight here.
