For weapons, damage is king. i485 beats out i480 without contest. 100 extra sub stats doesn't even come close.

And 'leveling gear' for crafters and gatherers were pointless as early as Heavensward because of Leves. You might make a stop at x5-x7 if you needed to, but if you were rocking the previous expansions top-end, you ignored everything else.
1: Cant vet crafters get a single thing they actually want out of the game? And no, expert recipes aren’t it. It’s just a meaningless mini game with no rewards we care for. (read my post on caimies thread)

2: Cant we get at least one thing we want without players like you constantly trying to argue and shoot them down back to where they were? not everything needs to be shared, some things should require hard work and effort.
