Maybe not to you. But considering that a large portion of crafter "end game" is vanity gear (spring dress/skirt, glasses, swim suits -- yes, desynthing counts as part of the crafter experience, possibly gatherer as well), it does raise questions regarding what will happen to their end game if the cash shop starts taking pieces of the gear they'd normally be producing. I know several people who have one or two combat classes at 50, but prefer to spend their game time with their eight DoH 50s, crafting things and either using the items themselves, giving them to friends (or selling at discount/mat price), or putting up on the marketboard for other players.

There are people who don't log in with Progression foremost in their mind. There are even those who wouldn't care less if they had an option to unlock an extra Final Coil run for the current week... for a price, because that's not content they're interested in. Just as vanity is content you're not as interested in. Just as that extra coil run would count as P2W for some, those exclusive vanity items count as P2W for others.
