Thanks for all the responses, I appreciate that other people don't think I'm totally out of line. Its not that I dont like the end game gear and grinding for it in raids/dungeons... I DO like that, I just wish I could choose alternatively to craft gear that was that good so that having a max level crafter served a purpose. If they want to thwart RMT maybe have it so you can get items to trade for end game gear like we have already, OR get mats that drop that you use to craft another set thats comparable AND un-tradable. You would basically have to craft it for yourself only. I understand some people would hate this idea, but still at least then I'd NEED my crafters for top tier purposes. As of right now I can make mediocre stuff, then I just replace that stuff shortly after making it and its useless and I lose it. Makes me not even want to craft it to begin with.
