Then they could make crafted gear worth a damn again maybe?
The problem with crafted gear is that any yahoo with gil can get that gear, and if it's a serious contender for end-game content, then I would feel like the game is going in the wrong direction. The purpose of crafted battle class gear is simply so that people can catch up to more recent patches without grinding out the previous content for suitable gear. The problem right now though is that this isn't a new patch, but a new expansion, and there's no way in hell that craftable gear will be anywhere near the top of the item levels because of the price gouging that went on in early 2.0
