DoH/DoL gear is so profitable compared to other crafting ventures that I'd say crafting feels more like a pyramid scheme than anything else, and from your comment I think you might agree with me here. I'd like to see weapons and armor be at least as viable as the accessories are. At the very least I'd like to see all crafted gear be a side grade to end game gear and progress similar to tome gear: 10 ilvls below the raid drop but upgradable through a twine/oil.
