Proper crafted gear?

[Grembo]

I'm pretty sure the reason crafted gear is only as good as the worst token gear is not to combat RMT.

So much hyperbole.

Take a look at this....

1. DL Bracelet of Fending.

Vit :10
Parry: 9
Accuracy: 12

2. Gryphonskin Wristbands.

Vit: 10
Parry: 12
Accuracy: 12
Str: 9
Dex: 9
Det: 6
Crit Rate: 9

So, please tell me again how crafted gear is only as good as the worst token gear?

Maybe it's not the same for everyone but for me in most instances/raids there's little or no reason to take anything more than crafted gear.
