You completely missed my point. Each crafting class has at least one recipe that results in several consumable items, and generally requires few materials to craft them (certain potions, foods, and arrows are all good examples.) These items are usually very good to craft through certain levels, and often profitable. Weapons and armor are never in as high demand as expendables, and the only equipment people bother to buy repeatedly is often high-level gear due to the way materia crafting works.

So yeah CRP will be useless, since it will only be profitable at endgame, and it won't be worth grinding levels on gear that no one buys to get it to endgame, never mind the millions of gil you would have to make in order to just break even. Why not just admit you can't accept anything in an MMO unless it follows WOW's example?
