Right there with you. Just got to lvl 50 with all the crafters and gatherers. Did it the right way too. Crafted all my gear for all my classes staying up to date the whole time and melding. Was fun but really wish there was something to commentate it.

We can say the reward is being a crafter, but who knows without examining me? Who can understand my struggle without a shiny/flying beacon?

I think Omni-Crafters at least should get a mount.
