what are the players that dont want to deal with crafters for every single thing supposed to do? we want gear but dont want to spend another entire day looknig for a crafter you can trust to make it and then paying them to do so on top of it.

the best solution is to have both options. bosses should drop mats for certain gear and other actual gear already made.
i thought it was already said that crafters/fielders were going to be de-emphasized in comparison to Tanakas idea.
