Why would you realistically want to craft and meld an armor piece when you can meld something even better using an U/U set?

The only reason to would be to change the color, and even that system has changed.
i cant agree witht hat

im 50 in everything, and i must say, the time investment put into crafting cant be compared to farming itself since you do both for different reasons, and in fact, it has nothing to do at all with the UU gear discussion at all(except for maybe my thoughts that you should only be allowed to meld UU gear you yourself own, as a bonus for also crafting on top of combat)

fact is, you DO NOT need to craft in order to get crafted gear, so you cant take the time crafting into consideration, only the time it takes to earn the money or materials needed to make the gear, which is NOTHING in comparison to how long it may take to farm a specific piece of unique gear
