Crafting is dead

[scarebearz]

"Whine whine crafting is dead whine whine whine"

Its the same crap being spouted by the same man-children that complained back when beast tribe dailies came out. Crafting isn't dead, you're just afraid of change and you're afraid of having to actually wait instead of getting instant gratification.

Coming from someone with no crafts at 60.

End-game crafting is pretty dead and is likely to remain so for a long time unless things change.

Edit: hit post count for today... lol

If its dead then why are all the major progression groups suddenly buying up all the gear they can so that they can meld more favorable stats onto it to push through Savage Alex? You might want to rethink your definition of the term "dead." I also don't have to have a craft at 60 to see the pattern or understand how something works. Do you seriously not remember oaknots and how they "killed" crafting?

I had no problem with oaknots, any newb could get them easily and they were only used for crafting/gathering class gears, it's not the same at all.

None of the "major progression" groups on Odin have any i180 crafted parts.

I also said "pretty dead", so you may want to actually read my post before commenting.
