So first of all, I agree with you guys that the crafting system is a mess, trying to figure out what a crafter should make for a class/job at a specific level, implying pre 50. See, the only problem I have with it, is that this MMO is meant to be played as such that, everything pre-50, is introductory. Even most of the Story line now, is only accessible after you've hit level 50 on at least one job. Dev time to revamp, would take away from post 50 content and fankly, by the time it's released, ou might have every class to 50 anyway.

When I want to figure out what I should be crafting for my new class . . . I'm reading the patch notes before the servers go live or while I'm still at work, and then I go to the very bottom of my Master Recipe list and look for he piece of gear by that craft for he class I want. Ex: Platinum Ring of Fending.
