I see statements like this in every MMO these days. Just because you can't do something yourself doesn't mean you're forced to work until you can. Other players exist for a reason.

Right now it shouldn't take more than 2-3 minutes to find someone to meld your gear, and many will even do so for free. Believe me when I say it is a very, very good for the long-term viability of the game that everyone can't do everything so soon after launch. In another month you'll really see the number of full-crafters (every class at 50) explode, which will make your life even easier.
