Apparently you don't just want DoH/L to be irrelevant, you want to tie them up, burn them, and stomp them into the ground.

You accuse others of wanting to profit from you and hurt your enjoyment of the game, yet you have no qualms about wanting to completely destroy theirs, the hypocrisy is strong with this one.
So i level my Battle class to 50, battle my way through a hundred farm runs so i can buy a moldy hat that i then have to pay ridiculous sums of Gil to randoms on the Market Boards in order to get the materials needed to have someone else charge me more gil for the service of crafting my item.

Instead of doing the dungeons, and buying my gear with the resulting currency.

Yeah, that makes total sense.

Give crafters some recipes for gear that is on par with Darklight/Relics, while keeping the current Tome system intact and then if someone works out a way to get the required materials more quickly for the crafters versions, the Tome dungeons suddenly go dead because the more efficient path is to buy the mats and have it made ....

What you want is to swing the pendulum in the complete opposite direction.

Give crafters the recipes for ilvl 70 gears. Hell, give them the ability to MAKE the Darklight gear. I have no problem with that. But you'd better damn well make sure the requirements to make it are just as time consuming as running AK/CM/TP/WP/AV/DD/SV for Tomes. An Alternative to the current system, NOT a replacement is the balance we need.
