Do you actually have anything meaningful to add? These downright asinine comparisons to other games crafting with no idea how they actually function. Rank shouldn't be the end all of crafting, it's SE's fault that it is. Just because you can power level your crafting to max in Aion, WoW and even Lineage 2 doesn't mean your skills are anything but worthless still.

I think it was a mistake making recipes only hidden by obscurity of information given the amount of datamining and database websites floating around for ages now, it is simply a bad idea and killed off that entire part of the market.

The only thing stopping someone from making anything at this point is material availability and rank. I would much rather you need to get a certain rank or level to be able to learn that new recipe that is either a drop or bought with guild marks/seperate faction points from locals. Give DoH some actual variety.
