You've missed out. Cuz you listened to whiny morons like these who have no idea what they're talking about, you've missed the periods where crafting was most profitable. Those who started crafting first are swimming in millions and are not spending it cuz anything they need to buy can be made by themselves. This prevents a large sum from circulating through the economy. Most importantly, there are now a crap ton of crafters and competition has plummeted the profits on 1-star and 2-star is almost nothing. Situations may vary from server to server.
