Scrip grinding isn't very compelling as a progression mechanism, because it's too grindy, and the rewards don't seem worthwhile, outside of getting the DoH books. It doesn't matter how easy it is, it seems like it's fallen victim to the same arbitrary gating we've seen everywhere in 3.0 endgame, and like it was deliberately lengthened to draw out the progression for as long as possible.
Given the fact that the red script gear was supposed to be the causal alternative to hardcore melding of 2* crafts, I completely agree.
W/o every crafter and both gatherers at 60, it's a royal pain and very expensive to cap.

Sure, as an Omni 60 it's trivial to do. But having Omni 60 is not something I'd consider "casual".

Also, if you ask me, the 1 week gating is a bit overcooked. Esp once you factor in that you have to choose between buying gear or mats.
