I've got a problem. I don't like the idea - I really don't.

I think if the crafted gear goes back to being on par or better than drops then we have the people who start saying "Where is a crafter when I need one?" and "What do you mean you won't make <enter equip here for me>? you're a crafter aren't you? you leveled to that so you have an obligation to make it!"

At the same time - you have those who say "Well those moneygrubbing merchants will never be happy! now I have no choice but to seek them out every time I want crafted gear and it's not like I can sell the stuff!!"

and then there are the devs saying "We're listening and trying to help. Try it and let us know what is going on"

My problem is, I don't like what's been introduced, but I cannot offer an intelligent alternative. I mean, exactly how to you handle the glutting of the market in such a way that the crafters don't feel like they are worked like dogs to create every time they log in and still make it worth while to be a crafter?
