I believe the same thing Arcell. I wanted to make a low level doublet for my -smiths so i could work on ranking them up and shied away once i saw how much crafting i actually had to do.

New players will get a sense of satisfaction making their own gear and gear for others and once these crafting changes take place there shouldn't be much worry about supply. I myself am already planning to make a few sets of low level gear to sell after the patch.
