You're not much of a raider unless you can somehow afford those high-end crafted gear too? Seeing as the most effective ways of making gil in this game are... crafting, market board flipping and selling runs. And please don't tell me selling runs to handless people should be an expectation if you're a keen raider who doesn't craft?

I agree though that raiding gear should be *close* to equal to raiding gear. It could act as decent gear for non-raiders, while being slightly weaker than the actual raiding gear. They could even add a few material drops to the latest raids to let raiders get some gil as well and make sure you can't buy that crafted gear to skip the weekly gear treadmill like in 2,3.
