Now keep in mind, this hasn't just started happening, I mean I've been seeing people in full crafted War/Magic gear since 2.0 (it was more acceptable back then too), but today I saw someone with it fully melded and everything. Now don't get me wrong, a full set of item level 220 gear is sexy as hell when you put 5 melds on every piece, but the sheer cost of it alone or the wasted potential in profit makes me cringe. It's really not hard to replace that gear with Midas normal turn ins and Tomes of Lore gear, and every piece you buy of it will be like you burning 6-800k gil per armor slot. I don't know, maybe I'm just too tight with my funds, and maybe if you have every crafting class to 60 it's probably not too big of a deal. It just hurts when you don't currently have a way to make that kind of money easily (I'm not gonna jump into crafting until 5.3 XD).
