Why is Crafting still in the game?

[Z3M0G]

Vanity gears.
I hope with 2.2 we get a lot of recipes for very good looking vanity gears.

Make raid gear the best in stats and the crafted gears the best in look (and raid gear not very good looking).

I hope it happens like this, because people complaining if you didn't buy the latest and greatest 500k gear pieces would be toxic to the community.
