I understand both TBH. I just so happens that the most vocal about 2) are brought about in a sense that if They cannot perform to their own set standard, No one should perform.
"Roll alts and level crafting or stop crafting"
"someone will roll alts and do stuff I can't do right now. That is unfair."
which does not apply to crafting itself, but what can or cannot be done on the marketboard (crafting is just the tool for that competition, think if raiding provided the best source of MB income). Why? Because it is not the crafting that is important. It is the Ends that are important to those arguments.

Now do tell, why I should I wage a trade war with someone? I haven't needed to, nor will I, because again, (and I presume for most) dominating the MB is not my game.

Though here is a hint, I can still make profit off other's trade wars. As I said.
If they want to sell stuff at cost or less, I can buy it, and wait till they are done and sell it for higher.


And just so you know, "its' just a game" was not used as an argument. It was used as a reminder.
