Sanity check - crafting job skip potions?

[Lersayil]

Does anyone actually craft anything for the MB in their own low level range nowadays? I genuinely dont know. From my experience the MB for low level equipment is mostly empty, with some VERY overpriced HQs likely intended for lazy crafter turn ins. I don't think any of the usual leveling methods have sellable byproducts?

When the mood hits me I craft some low level tools and such on my 70s and throw them up, but very rarely do I generate anything worth selling on my low level DoH's.

And no. Omni or even gatherers aren't required to turn a profit (or to have fun btw) on the MB. Thats a myth. As a specialist buying stuff from the MB you can generally find some stuff where people dont price-compete by the dozens, that you can sell and turn a profit. You only need omni and gatherers if you want to be competitive in the high end market with the other omni crafters. And for me thats the least fun part of being a crafter.

Personally I am against skip potions. I would never buy them because I'm a miser. But I cant find any reason why having crafter potions would be any way worse than combat skip potions. Added to that I loathe everything about the 1-50 DoH range. And yes, I may be the rare breed you dont think that exists or would enjoy crafting while hating 1-50.

Again. You can have fun as a crafter without getting into the high end cutthroat pricing wars as a single class specialist. "We dont need it" is not an argument. If some people want it and think the leveling exp sucks balls, the question is: why not? And currently I see very few good data backed arguments against it.
