Actually, I was initially quoting someone saying they didn't want weekly lockout on crafting materials. I was saying it wouldn't be bad if it was an alternative to the weekly tomestone gear, so you'd only be able to make the item for yourself, so having items crafters make for themselves & untradable, would be a viable alternative. If you aren't already a crafter, you would get less options yes, but I'm fine with that, seeing as those who do not raid now can not get full bis anyway, you'd not be creating a new situation.

As for bis, in general I think it's a silly concept. If all secondary stats were equal, then you could for example, play a spell speed scholar, instead of being crit spec like 100% of the other scholars. It would create some diversity, and make it so that no-one, crafter, raider, tomestone farmer, would have anything better than anyone else.
