[To the Devs] GIVE CRAFTERS blue and purple quality recipes

[Machazareel]

Seems pretty consistent to me:
Purple>Blue>Green>Pink>White
HQ items moves color to next tier. Seems more like common sense to me. There will never be Blue and Purple crafted gear, or else no one will do the endgame content. If you want craftable blue gear, then HQ green gear. There was never a shown purple gear besides the best weapon in the game, so why would they want players to circumvent the process of achieving the best items in the game by buying gil?

There is nothing wrong with crafters being able to craft some BiS gear, as long as they can't craft BiS for every single slot. For stuff like weapons, it's ok to be able to make close to BiS, as long as raids drop somewhat better.
