Crafting was thought to be the center of 14 with all other classes revolving around it. Without DoL, no MATs to craft... Without craft, no adventurer would get his/her equipment there for without adventurers either, crafters wouldn't get that rare and hard to get MAT[s], then crafters can't make more gear and equipment for either the DoW, DOM,DoH or DoL. Paying for things from NPCs kinda ruins the concept and it shouldn't be in competition with crafters/melders IMO.
