Crafting jobs too easy to level to 50

And what makes you say that, pray tell? It's an unfounded argument with nothing but attributions over people who level faster. I'd stop assuming thing about others; especially if you don't know how they play the game.

I'm a crafter main, similar to you, and I do the same things you mention. Do I need to be level 50 to build that reputation? No, but it does help to expand your possibilities. Is leveling a little too easy? Yes, otherwise we wouldn't be having the amount of high level crafters we have now.

I find people who smash through 400 levels of crafting in a week are no threat to me as a crafter. They won't stop and make the set of 20 gear for the new guy just because.

May I ask for the statistics behind that affirmation? Or is it just you assuming something?

They won't take the time to inspect him to see he is in a hodge podge loot set. I will and have.

What does someone's level has anything to do with it? I must've imagined helping all those people who where in a similar spot, and the same can apply to others who have maxed everything.

I don't even need to go looking for work, people come to me to have stuff crafted. They know I do it by choice and they know I will set them up. Being a crafter in an MMO is 90% reputation. You don't build that reputation in a week by flashing a 50 in front of people. Any more than you become the go to guy for dungeon runs by flashing a 50 Paladin in public.

Do you want to know why I took the time to level everything to 50? So I can do exactly that and expand my possibilities. At first I started as a Weaver because it seemed the most broad option, but then my friends starting needing other things like accessories and weapons. I find it slightly offensive that you come here with those assumptions against people "flashing a 50 in front of people." But hey, you pose "no threat to me as a crafter" either, so let's be on our way.

The point is, leveling is a bit too easy with the current system. We've reached a point where you can HQ a two-stars recipe with your eyes closed if you have the necessary skills. It trivializes the content and provide little challenge once you get the hang of it.
