Crafting (or, why bother?)

[TheRogueX]

So the idea is to have multiple ways to get better gear. You have dungeons, raiding, and gathering/crafting. Each should be pretty much separate, with perhaps a little bit of cross-over here and there. Someone who wants to make higher-end gear via crafting instead of raiding or running dungeons should be able to make at least something without having to raid or run dungeons.

It seems to me like SE has no idea how to do this. We have craftable i110 gear in the game, and it's pretty interesting. However, from what I understand, you still have to raid in order to get certain components for this gear. That is absolutely ridiculous. I could understand if maybe there were special craftable gear sets alongside the regular craftable sets, but there aren't.

I would ask that we instead have new high-end craftable gear that is made from new high-end field-gatherable items, but 3.0 is so close that it's really too late to ask for it before the Fall. Instead, let's hope they take this sort of information to heart for high-end crating after 3.0 comes out.
