I didn't finish my relic until around FCoB for a similar reason. Problem with crafting is it's only profitable for the first 2 weeks or so before everyone that can afford it has bought it, as it's all glamours. They may as well just dump crafting if they are going to make it a pointless time sink. I mean it's not like crafting has any meaningful impact on the game outside of food and potions.
