Don't understand making weapons when quests give them?

DL is so easy to get now. I have attained 4 full sets, i did have a few pieces from 1.0 but still its very easy. Weapons you can get from Ifrit hard, perty easy out of the 3 primals. Theres no point in crafted gear. Jewls you can work some magic with but then again Gil comes into play, and Gil is evaporating.

before 50, you can pretty much pass over greens by HQ melding gear. I'm not talking about at the exact same level though, I'm saying once there's a craftable that's two or more levels above that green, the HQ pretty much trumps it already, paired with a sub-stat of your choosing if not capped already.

So free seals to you along the way.

I think we could do with Primal gear (not just weapons) where crafters could craft using unique rare drops from Primal (H) kills.

This would place the gears at Darklight level (N quality) or slightly above Darklight (H quality) but under CT/Coils.

Making craft gear stronger than quest gear will make people just buy all their gears. What they need to do is have craft gear have similar stats to the quest gear, but for them to look much better, for example weaponsmith making swords for gld & not daggers like what the quest gives.

Perhaps the option of making crafted gears comparable but sporting a different (more unique) look might be a good addition as it gives players the option of either farming for tomestones (free) for gears or spending gil for crafted gear.

Currently, as it stands, end game gear (wanderer, keep, darklight) are superior over any crafted gear, thus players have no reason to get crafted gear at all.

In my opinion crafters should beable through Hq, rare drops, and melding craft gear on par with the strongest gear in the game. Until that moment I feel there will always be problems.
Again I have my dow/m at 50 so im not downing people for not wanting to craft and preferring to fight. But some people want to spend there time crafting they should have the same right to gear on par with the best gear through there chosen route. Or else simply remove crafting/ make everyone be able to craft anything cause its not worth the effort currently.

Sure there are multiple quests for like level 1-10 gear, but after that most quests are single time offers and if you level any more classes than one, you may want to buy those crafted items from the market.
