Crafting... Why are we doing it?

[Reika]

I've never seen any arguement showing them nearly as good as ilvl90 gear... that does make it much more appealing.

There are some delusional people who think they are. As long as they don't allow raising of the primary and most important stats and defense of gear, they will never be as good as higher ilvl gear, period. Jewelry might be the only thing that is better in some ways, due to being able to add some stats not available on all jewelry, but higher ilvl crafted jewelry will replace those in the future tho. Unless they stop crafted goods at ilvl70... which would be the death of the crafting system.
