Any chance of implementing a source for Waterproof Cotton?

Unlike every other MMO I've ever played, SE treats vanity gear as more rare and valuable than end game combat raiding gear.

I'm pretty sure this is a blessing. Suppose there is endgame gear X. You either need engame gear X to be taken seriously as a raider, or you need endgame gear X to do endgame stuff at all without spending all your time eating dirt. The trouble is, endgame gear X is crafted; it's hard to craft, and requires ridiculously rare materials.

Now you're in the situation where endgame gear X has ridiculously high demand compared to supply. The price goes through the roof. Only gilbuyers and people who are crazy good at making money can possibly compete in endgame. Everyone else is left in the cold. The forums light on fire, and with darned good reason.

Now, consider the alternative, which is what we have now. Endgame gear is accessable to everyone who does endgame, and also to some who don't. Only glamour items are suffering from ridiculously high demand compared to supply - and you know what? Not being able to dress your character in a coeurlskin bikini isn't going to affect your progress through the game. If you really want it, you can scrimp and save until you can afford it, but no one is going to kick you from party for not having one when you join Party Finder for Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 36.

As sour as it makes me as a crafter, I see the wisdom in making glamour items the primary source of profit for crafters, rather than actual endgame equipment. I don't have to like it, but it makes sense.
