Oh SE, You completely missed the main problem with endgame crafting/gathering

Then I hope you enjoy having subpar equipment you cannot properly use for glamouring either, since it cannot be dyed.

Until there's actual reason to strive for BiS, there's... well... no currently relevant reason to not go after those equips if that's what you want to do. People STILL argue in favor for spending millions to pentameld the 3.0 crafting BiS, when there is literally no good reason to do it. IMO, go subpar equipment with your own needed melds. Currently, majority CP melds are the absolute most useful thing to go for. If anything, 3.0 crafting has shown us to just spend what you want and do what you want. If you don't care to be in BiS, you don't have to be to make profit. Besides, in nearly every situation of the game, BiS is nothing more than a status symbol. Keep in mind the keyword there: nearly.
