Reduce cost of Soul of the Crafter

[Mindy_Macready]

The barrier for 2.x was you can throw tons of time and money at it, while the barrier in 3.2 is you can throw tons of time and money at it or use red scrips.

Even if you want to try 3 stars without access to favors, main/off/body and minor melds gets you there for less than 8 weeks worth of scrips. I just did 120+ 3-star synths this last weekend, most of them with 419 CP, and hit HQ on ~95% of them, including all 35 pieces of gear. The stuff isn't that hard.

Sorry, 2.x was not as bad. Eight weeks to gear up one crafter for 3-stars in 3.x? Funny, in 2.x you'd have maxed EVERY crafting class easily by that time. Just re-read that last sentence.

Look at the cost of favor mats required to get red scrip items, or the red scrip items themselves. Buying ehcatl sealants was way more viable, mainly because the entire server was getting it.

You're over-generalizing the differences between 2.x and 3.x for the sake of arguing, it seems.
