What's the means to this end you speak of? Enlighten me.
High tier food for raids, tinctures for raids, crafted gear for raids so they can get started on the tier because you do need that until you get the BiS drops from the raids themselves, glams that can only be obtained by crafting, selling all the previous and thus make money for the things they can't craft and are otherwise unwilling to farm like haircuts/minions/mounts from Deep Dungeon or Bozja... hell, some people like to just make money, because numbuh go up equals dopamine

No seriously, this is quite obvious, the goal is the crafted product, and then do something with said crafted product, all I cited are immediate goals for those crafted products, it's quite simple.
