You can come up with "solutions" all you want, it remains the fact that you don't get rewarded for levelling your crafts along with your combat, as a matter of fact you get punished untill you get good enough crafting gear to get HQ crafts, which remain still one of the weaker things you come across, cause there's quests and dungeons which you will undoubtedly will be doing one of and most likely both. And even when you do get high enough for HQ it will be at max equal to the quest gear. There is just no advantage to it, only if you compare the high effort crafted to the very lowest "no effort" gear if you understand what I mean with this.

I see that you are of the opinion crafting is fine, and I agree, but that the strength of the 51-59/61-69 gets outshined by every other means to get gear currently in the game of the same level. except for buying from NPC's ofcourse those equal NQ crafts.
