As I start to build my set of Scaevan gear, those so-recently-acquired Omega pieces are already obsolete.

It's all just pixels on a screen, but it feels so wasteful.
So the game introduced three different methods to obtain gear: Crafted, Savage, and Tomb. Seems perfectly fair to me. These activities accommodate three very different playstyles in the highest percentile of the playerbase: Those who craft/gather; those who do everything outside of savage, and those who savage. If these activities overlap, then it kind of makes sense that a tier from one content beats out the respective tier from the easier content. Should you really be able to obtain BiS via crafting?.... I'm gonna say probably not because then you wouldn't be required to actually do the hardest PvE content. Should you be able to craft sufficient gear to get in there though? Absolutely.
