IMO crafting is broken here is how to fix it

[Darksonnet27]

The crafting system in this game is broken let me tell you why and suggest easy fixes. In order to socket gear you have to have the corresponding skill to socket the item forcing players to pursue all crafts.This hurts the economy.Why buy something if u can make it yourself. The NPC guild suppliers need to supply goods for all the tiers of crafting not just up to level 20. There is a serious lack of availability on the Market for crafting ingredients. This lack is a direct result of being forced to level all professions just to socket gear.So all this boils down to is three easy steps to fix everything. Make gear enhancement available across the board if you have one profession leveled to 19 and a professions on level with the gear. Make all the tiers of crafting ingredients available to the Guild Suppliers. Add in the Trapping skill. To provide leather meat and beast sinues. Letting the npc sell all tiers will enable player to mass produce crafting components for other professions to sell on the board.
