The thing with the whole raid vs crafted gear I think they could have handled better... instead of giving an outright nerf to crafted gear why not just change the stats on the raid gear to buff them up? I'm sure they could make it so if they wanted to the stats on the "old" raid items would update to whatever they set the "new" items too. Oh well
If my memory serves me right there was an expansion that made some dropped loot better than crafted items. Im unsure if raiding falls into this my memory is foggy, but either way it made the crafters upset. Their beef was why bother making items when others could loot and sell items they got abroad? The last expansion changed that so that most of the crafted items are now better than dropped loot. A lot of my items used are crafted. and before I hit the 60's ALL my gear was crafted. I could never find anything better out there.
So there is a reasoning for crafting if youre into it. You do make a lot of money selling your wares as there are a lot of people out there looking to always upgrade. I personally have never been able to get into it, but then again, Id rather go out and gain my xp as quickly as possible
I was able to make a pretty steady income on crafting weapons, now though with this patch they really hurt us. There still were things better then what I crafted from dropped loot or quests, but just slightly. I'll still continue crafting and using my handmade weapons as fillers until I find something better on the AH, but this LU really nerfed the stats on them it seems like.
