Spiritbinding = Ex?

Look at the alpha quest video 5. You get gear for doing quest chaining. Much like WoW or any mordern mmo you get gear, exp, gil for doing quests. No need to buy lvling gear from the ah unless you only do grind parties but those are suppose to be slower. Crafting will be more focused on endgame.

If no one buys any gear before endgame... SE just screwed over crafters hardcore... So either way epic fail

Why wouldn't people buy gear before end-game? don't you need weapons to level up with? Where are you going to get that weapon? Quest rewards won't a player everything it needs to avoind needing crafted items to advance. People may have gotten away with it in 1.0 because of how unimportant defense was, and how nearly unimportant weapon damage was, but that may have drastically changed with ARR.
