ilevel 70 crafted items mats bug?

[Ahlen]

it's disappointing because the actual crafting of items I find to be the best system of any MMO I've played....but the end sucks.

Aren't there supposed to be mines that spawn on a timer that give the items?

If I farm all these Peacock ores, and end up with a NQ ring I am going to be a very sad cat.

I really want to continue to rank up all of my DoL and DoH classes, but if there's no reason to do so in the high levels, what's the point? I want to be able to be a master crafter and have that mean something for legitimate game play. I want to be able to make kickass weapons and armor for my main class/job with materials gathered through my own adventures, or offer out my expertise for those who want to hire me. If crafting is useless, why even have it in the game? I find threads like this one to be so disheartening. I like crafting and gathering, and all of these threads make it quite apparent that the system is broken. I really hope it gets fixed.

I'm not even up to near this stuff yet...

But what I'm reading is worrying. :/
