Because Crafting and Raiding are DIFFERENT.

Raiders like the challenge of raiding (presumably) and enjoy the victory and progression and the New Shiny Gear. Been there, done that, still doing it. Got a few of the t-shirts.

Crafters ... like CRAFTING. Gatherers ... like GATHERING.

Don't treat them the same, because they aren't. They aren't even in the same ball park. Any comparison between crafters and raiders is doomed to be irrelevant. They aren't the same. It's not even an apples to oranges thing.


Also ... It has not become abundantly clear that omnicrafters were unintended. Because I would say it's fundamentally clear that they WERE intended. Otherwise the 50 skills would not be cross-class.
