Mmmm not really just elemental alignments if you look carefully - noticed after reading JP forums talking about the pants/shoes from Uldah is the only one having craftman skill up bonus on gear and currently the best one available.
Although the stat doesn't seem to affect much of crafting as a player most would want the best gear they can get for whatever class they are doing and this just kind of killed it.

Basically JP players saw this post and some are pissed off that Rep said "released in future" if you know from FFXI when they say "In future" it can be months later which just puts that other city in lead and unlike FFXI you can't spend more GC points on other cities to try and obtain so that isn't helping that rep post either, they also saying for the bow even though the Damage value is different and wont affect much on the DPS but how about damage on WS? stuff like that..
