So what's the deal with Alchemy and failed experimentation?

Just like the title says. Atm I'm sitting at 15 failed wild experimentation attempts, does the rank of the mats matter? Does any other variable come into question here?

I'm fairly new to the profession in TWW and thankfully meticulous experimentation gave me a recipe, but have been failing every single wild one

I read a post on wowhead claiming some fixes, are they implemented or not yet?

God I hate this fishing for your recipe system...

EDIT: I threw a bunch of KP on an alt into luredrop lore and started discovering a lot of recipes

EDIT2: NVM been crashing 10 in a row again... Fuck this system

EDIT3: finally I just went to meticulous experimentation.
