The problem isnt quests, npcs, fates, or leve gear; the one thing that's making crafters useless is the developers creating this ridiculous system allowing players to buy darklight, Af +1, and allagan accessories.

In 1.0 because you had to actually work to get darklight, which all wasn't even the best gear, crafted gear actually had a purpose, being to help you farm for darklight, or for the fact that some with melds hq or not was better than dl.

Only fix I see, is getting rid of tomes and/or the ability to buy top gear with it. Or actually making crafted gear with far better stats.

Uhh yes, NPCs, Quest, Fates, and leve gear are part of the problem. See you're speaking of end game crafting which has it problems too as you stated but the problem occurs much much much sooner than that.
