Red scrip Gear discussion?

[Ashkendor]

I think it makes a lot of sense, a culinarian or alchemist isn't going to wear the same stuff as a blacksmith or a carpenter ect...

The funny thing is the red scrip gear was the easy option compared to the crafted 170 until they nerfed the lvl 170 stuff.

I get that they wanted to have different gear designs for each craft, but the least they could've done is left it so the top tier gear didn't need melding as well. After going to the Artisan set, it's ridiculous to go back to all separate melded sets. :/
