I was responding to one of your reasons in an earlier post:

The red scrip system has not failed to do as promised, you just have to be patient enough to wait for the gear. The amount of time I spend on capping red scrips each week is much less than it was doing Ixali quests, and most of that time is gathering stuff while I'm out getting maps anyway. There is nothing difficult in either one.

Yes. The pentamelds were OP for the first few weeks of a new raid for the world first crews. Then locked out gear became attainable, and only a few pieces were left as arguably BiS. It's been made abundantly clear this won't ever be the case again, after FCoB went down in the first week.

Your response has made it sound like you really don't enjoy crafting. I was giving you time to reach there yourself, but I guess I just had to come out and say it. It's a theme park game; optional side content should be something you enjoy, or skip.
