Of course, they did not. They gutted crafters, just like they gut every single piece of content and job in this game.
Agreeing with this — they already had the perfect system in place for it.. they just decided to strip it out because we can’t have nuance like that in the game… nope.. unironically would even encourage more people to actually try expert recipe crafting in these zones as gear wise it’d have been very accessible whilst retaining that skill and reward aspect.
