I like it the way it is. I'm not sure most people care for it but I find it a lot more enjoyable than crafting I've done in other games. I'd like to see it have a far bigger market in terms of creating and selling high-level gear though. Right now it's really been overtaken by stuff dropped from NM's.

It's also less useful because leveling is entirely too fast now. There's no point in buying new gear every few levels when you can get 10+ levels in one day. Personally I'd like to see more level 20-30, 40-50 NM's that drop items for creating powerful gear/weapons.
