ROTW Crafting recipes

After ROTW was released I know this site along with few others data mined stuff. I know we had here in the database new crafting recipes for charms to add an additional affix. I also remember these were 'disabled' and I expected or assumed this would get implimented when the new ladder started. That has passed and still no recipes. I now see here that they have all been removed.

So I am thinking I must have missed something. Did these recipes in fact exist in the ROTW data mine? Has Blizzard communicated anything on new crafting recipes? Anything anyone can updated me on? I was excitedly waiting for these, tried one of the recipes out and did not work. Figured it was maybe ladder only, but now on ladder I had one toon and well you can guess what happened.

From what I recall, they pretty much boiled down to "take existing gear and slap -res on it", didn't they? Can't remember seeing any others.

In that light, I wouldn't be surprised if those were perhaps just some interim solution/alternative idea that got scrapped (=disabled but not fully removed) in favor of keeping the extended -res on the new stones and renewed sunders instead. Even the ingredients were largely the same as the sunder rolling is now I believe (albeit only 1 shard instead of 3 for magic).

Or not..who knows. Only time will tell.

Though it would certainly suck for those to be ladder only...really not a fan of the idea of "trash every single charm and re-farm all of them on ladder cuz existing ones can't be upgraded".

That was exactly my fear, this was going to be some ladder only gimmick. Would I have rolled these onto my existing charms? Sure why not, but all my toons are NL and I have no interest in ladder.

What also kind of means, this ROTW is a lot less content than I originally thought it was going to be.

That is worst scenario, if ladder only. It will kill small charm value 5/20 and so on...

Even for slightly okay scenario, both nl ladder works , it will still create a big Black hole.

Think of the case, 3/5 bottom roll and perfect roll -3 resistance vs 5/20 -1 resistance. Which one you will equip?
I guess many sorc will just choose 3/5/ -3 resistance over 5/20/-1. That will kill all existing small charm value. Current market already reflect the possibility of this change. It is unlikely to happen but have small chance.

Small charm value , in the time I see that post, go down around 10%.
