Keep crafters out of endgame. These are horrible ideas.

Forcing people to craft for endgame gear would only bloat your market more. You'd be shooting yourself in the foot.

Forcing people to rely on crafters for endgame gear was annoying. Glad they took it out (though people still seek to favor tanking with pentamelded accessories. Hope they take that out too.)

If they try to force raiders to rely on crafters for end game, they should make sure crafters can only get materials / their best gear from end game PvE, not from their own gathering classes.
