Crafting Needs a Place in Endgame Raiding

[stephenjd3]

Such a simple solution to this. . .

Make the actual best in slot (for a few slots, not all of them) be something unsellable that requires an unsellable dungeon/raid drop. Then you make the second-best a close contender but clearly inferior, so there's a desire but not a need to get the BiS.

Oh, look, you now have a BiS that requires DoW/DoM and DoH! And heck, you could even make one of the mats an unsellable DoL gather! The best part is, since none of it can be sold, there's no chance of RMT getting involved.

this might be the worst idea yet
