How much do you think 2-3 mil buys in leveling post-50 crafting if you were to buy grind mats and sell product directly to the NPC? I've done that when I got impatient. (Try it yourself and come back with an answer - your opinion might change.) Money is still very, very relevant. I can guarantee you this is about the only MMORPG on the planet where crafting acts as a money sink - not as a money producer. Its a strange thing to tell a newbie that the best way to make money is to pick up a pick, but it is as it is.
The topic is irrelevant anyway. A couple of GM conversations lead me to believe the devs are aware of the some of the issues they've created around crafting and consider them extremely low priority to fix. Oh well.
I will let you in on a little secret... I am doing this for my newborn daughter... no one else... I like that game, but I do not have the time anymore. My first priority is to my daughter. End of story.
