I like the OP's idea. Just wanted to chime in that you have the support of another player.

In all honesty, I keep holding out hope that some of these things will be adjusted as they see how it's actually working (or not working as the case may be). I think it is a little silly that I can either spend tomestones to gear my DoW or I can spend even more of them to get crafting mats for high level items that won't even net me xp on crafting since you have to be 50 to craft this gear.

That was a bit of a run-on sentence, hope it made sense ><
