Worst. Crafting. Ever.
There’s really no point to it as everything you make takes too much time, money, and effort and isn’t nearly as good as the stuff that drops in dungeons or can be had via PvP Honor Points.
Ever wonder why it costs so much to learn flying or to repair your armor (even when you’re a blacksmith…wtf.)? It’s because there is ultimately no other reason to have money, nothing else to really spend it on because, as is well known, the crafted gear is not nearly as good as the dungeon drops.
Sure, you can spend money on other crafting materials, but the fact of the matter is a large part of the WoW “economy” is propped up on shitty game design.
And let’s not even get into the stupid time-sink game only game design feature that is called “Bind on Pick-up”. What a horrible pig chute.
