Why gear should be craftable:

[Shipp]

The game shouldn't make craftable gear better than drops. Neither should it be the other way around where drops make craftable gear useless. It should be a nice mix like it was in XI. Too many craftable items being needed causes crafters to corner the market like what happened in XI. If they introduce dungeons for every 5-10 levels or so with gear obtained from there, it lessens that corner to a few items.

Edit: Typo in the first sentence. The game SHOULDN'T make craftable gear better than drops-
