Really? (Serious question, I'm not seeing how, for example, an HQ'd Gryphonskin Ring is going to be better than Allagan Ring of Aiming)

If the answer to the above is yes, I'm going to guess that it's more of an oversight than an intentional design choice, similar to how the Serpent Lieutenant's Bow is better than Ifrit's Bow. It's better that we let them know ahead of time that it'd be nice to have crafting be worth something more than "a harder way to obtain equivalent gear". If you're going to point a single ring that outclasses the ilv90 ring its more likely that that was a design oversight.
