I'm not making any less money than I did before. But I'm also all but completely ignoring 50+ crafting. I would have had exactly the same income if I hadn't leveled any of my DoH classes to 60.

I want to craft cool stuff. I want people to wear gear I've made around town, I want them to use it and feel like their investment was justified, and I want others to come to me for crafting services. With the elimination of useful (and cost-effective) end-products for crafters, they've all but removed most of those aspects. There's only so much of a market for Thavnairian Bustiers.
