Because if you are playing 2 parts of the game you should be rewarded. If you are maxed out on crafts and lvl 50 DoW/DoM you should have something to show for it not nothing to show for it. Yes if you spend the time crafting and spend the time raiding dungeons, you should have better gear than someone who only raids dungeons. As it stands now, that is not the case. As it stands now the ONLY reason for crafting(minus cooking) is repairs and the relic quest. Yes ilvl 70 crafted gear can be better than darklight, but people saying that it can be better than ilvl 90 gear are dead wrong.
