+1 I totally agree with everything here about crafting being crazy.
As a L60 Slayer on Freeholds I have no option but to level my crafting since the best gear you can get is via crafting at this level and not from Boss drops. The L60 gear you craft is alot better then anythign you'll ever get from a boss, and note that top tier dungeons seldom give any sort of armor or weaposn since its aimed at making you craft stuff at L60.
This means that in order to level I'd need to either buy hundreds of Titan runes on the AH (Which would require more money then I have or could ever imagine having, and this is coming from someone with 5k Gold) or I have to find L55+ BAMS and fight them solo. I could of course do it in a 5-man group but then you have 5 people vying for the runes and it would take many weeks to get enough runes to level to 410 (The stats I've seen put it at about 1650 Titan runes to get from 250 to 410). Oh, and lets not forget you still need lots and lots of keyrunes too albeit there a touch easier to get, but not by much.
They need to put the crafting quests that existed in beta back in or they need to lower the mat requirements, because as of right now it is pretty impossible for you to level to 410 unless you have an entire guild farming just for you.
I'm all for it being hard/expensive to level crafitng but TERA is way too hard for anyone who doesn't play 24/7 and have an entire guild farming for him/her to do.
