Why is Crafting still in the game?

[Felis]

To make sure that RMT (and legal crafters) don't sell best gear ingame in MB for very high prices and to make sure that a rich person can not just buy the gear, SE can also just bring in a craft request feature like the meld request.

the dungeon player do Coil 6-9. He can find ilevel 110 gear (as examle) or mats for ilevel 105 gear. The mats would be untradeable and bound to the character like the gears in coil (you need to do the dungeon to get the mats). With a craft request feature the player then don't need to level up a crafting class to get his gear. All what he need to do would be farming all the other mats, put them into the request craft UI window, maybe also a reward for HQ (and a penalty for NQ) and ask a crafter to craft it for him.

The dungeon player get his gear, the crafter feel himself usefull for endgame again and the game is a social feature richer.
