Your killing the crafters off why?

All the endgame gear is already unsellable/untradeable. Don't see the difference. But your way would require me to have all the classes since I can't trade a soulbound item to someone to craft for me.

These are some of issues that start arising. We could make it soulbound but craftable by another person like melds. However, that doesn't sound like a sound solution to what the OP is trying to address in this thread lol.
