Like I get that you want to do them yourselves but is it really as bad as people are making it out to be?

IDK about your servers but on leviathan if you ask someone for a meld of one item they will gladly do it.
It's not hard, but it's a nuisance of a system that really adds nothing to the game in my eyes. I'd think differently if the act of melding actually required the crafter to actually craft, but it doesn't. It's an NPC level action that, for some reason, only the crafters of light can do.

The only compelling argument I can see for keeping melding only in the hands of crafters is if said crafters are trying to make a buck off of melding. I don't really like that idea either but it's more convincing than "can't you just go shout in Idylshire?".
