Doesn't change the fact that for the same items, I can turn around and sell them at 5x that amount in the same time frame.

I stand by what I said before: it's pretty disingenuous to state that crafting leves are all that rewarding. To be "rewarding" it should generate at least similar (i.e. 3/4ths or higher) what you can get off the market ward, if not more.
