Quality research description error

Post by Scryllix »

The description of the quality researches, as seen below, read "Allows to make xxxxx quality items." This is perhaps a minor nitpick but that doesn't make grammatical sense. Maybe it was meant to say "Allows you to make xxxxx quality items." But that would also be a little misleading. A more correct description would be "Allows production of xxxxx quality items."

Sorry but how's that not a bug? It's clearly incorrect, I get if it was put in minor issues but do you mean that it was intended to be incorrect?

I must not have English 2.0, where you can use “allows to [verb]” without an object. The standard construction here is allow + object + to-infinitive. The sentence is missing the object: “Allows you to make…”
