Frankly - introducing the higher level recipies (preferably without introducing higher crating gear) will separate the "robots" 100% macro-ing everything in top melded gears from those who do stuff manually without need for fully melded gears and food - I've maxed all crafts as well as gatherers and I'm still hapilly in Patrician's set only way from max stats and easilly HQ anything I want even from NQ mats - because I don't rely on macros for that.
