Crafting is dead

[Neophyte]

I'm handing out 'progress' myself to them, through favor mats.
But we'll get 2-3 pieces of exchanged gear first and bother later with favors.
Regarding my gatherer i only need crafted belt/2xoffhand sometime in future then. Some red scribs saved, some red scribs for aditional supply for the other crafter.

My ALC gets few pieces exchanged gear, CLN maybe one (no 2* so far).. when the other ppl are more geared I can give them mats for further advancement.

You can't say 'Oh no, you need omni-crafting/gathering' on the one hand and 'You can't do this by cooperating' on the other. We trade progress against progress and it seems we're jusrt not in a hurry like others. Also patches will speed things up, so no 66-week-panic here.
