They probably did that because those crafters were botting and possible RMT activities.

Person X creates a character and three days later has all crafts at 50. Give me a break. You could watch it on the forums and see the rampant botting in game. Then the crafters act like they were just innocent victims, because they didn't RMT... while they DID bot as fast as their little programs would let them.

I especially love the ones that the FC mates fed the bots materials, so they could run 24/7 and then posted congratulatory posts on the forums about the "achievement" of having the first 50 or first person with all 50s like a day or two after release.

Botting/Rotating Play Shifts/ or Meth. You choose which they did.
