I will tell you why I stopped crafting.....gutting all the grindable crafts from 40-50. Only way to get xp efficiently is to do local leves and when you only get 1 leve total each time you go to the counter it gets a bit annoying.

Let's take wvr for example. Flax was an easy farm and the best way to get to 50. What is there now that's efficient?

You don't see people grinding because it's too difficult to grind efficiently. I'd rather go play something on my ps3.
