This has gone on long enough.
The concept behind the random discovery of Alchemy recipes is something I will not debate with you. Personally I think it's okay. But the fact is, it's broken, and everyone knows it. Yet you won't tell us that you KNOW it's broken, and that you have plans to fix it.
People WITHOUT alchemy as a profession have been getting the random emotes for learning things when DRINKING potions.
Alchemists like myself have made literally THOUSANDS of potions / elixirs / whathaveyou without a SINGLE discovery.
This is unacceptable. Please, for the love of god, respond to this thread. Admit to all of us who pay you money to play this game, and spend countless hours farming herbs, that you are at least AWARE of the problems with the mechanics of randomly learning flasks, and that you WILL FIX IT.
I apologize if my tone is harsh or condescending, but this is really ridiculous at this point. Seeing a hunter learn the Flask of Fortification from drinking a potion (without herbalism or alchemy trained) while I have made literally thousands of potions hoping for that very thing is quite possibly the most frustrating thing I have ever seen in a video game.
Admit. It. Is. Broken.
Tell. Us. What. You. Are. Going. To. Do. About. It.
Fix. Alchemy. Now.
