But... why? I'm sorry, I dont see the point in this? You're either taking away crafting from the playerbase (in which case: No, thank you very much - to put it politlely) or you're just replacing lore-gear with something else. Potionally something that will eat up inventory space like I stuff my face with chocolate - in which case: No, thank you very much.

Infact we even HAVE an NPC whos crafting for us - his name is Gerolt. While he is doing the relic specifically for YOU a lot of his gear can be brought at Rowena's - remember Ironworks? Thats actually Gerolts work that hes crafting for her to pay back his debt. Why do you wanna WAIT for an NPC to make something only for you while you can go to the shoppingcenter? How does that feel more "organic"? Do you have your own dresses made by a tailor aswell?
