NO other MMO has a system that has crafted gear > dropped gear. No successful MMO I should add.

Sounds like a massive library of experience of 1x MMO played.

Why bothered doing end game content if you can just make the best gear in the game?

Why bothered? Plenty of reasons to bothered. For fun? Entertainment? Crafting MATERIALS, maybe?

Why gather crafting materials if there is nothing worth crafting?

Farming for dropped sets takes all the fun out of any pve content if you have to run veteran city of ash 1 over a hundred times to get 5 burning spellweave its not fun

If its no longer fun its no longer entertaining. I took me a year of farming to get the 5 pieces of scathing mage i wanted and now i cannot stand doing imperial city prison. Rng huh? I did a 2 runs with a guy and got all 5 pieces he wanted. Rng loves a noob lol

If you nerf the monster sets to the ground no one will use them and no one will bother with pledges or dungeons as they have no reward, they will just farm ap in cyrodiil and buy stuuf from the golden vendor or buy these new zone ap bags.

Can anyone else see where this is going? The end of pve as we know it.

Several people have suggested that they would feel no point in "running 'end-game' content" if there were no set drops. The suggested solution is that a material needed to craft the item dropped instead of the actual item. That way, the crafters would still have a role to play, and there would still be a need for the dungeons to be completed.

Since I can finally craft 8 or 9 traits in most everything, it makes me sad they aren't stronger.

I'm glad that dropped sets are better and will continue to forever be.

Really? You are glad that ZOS systematically devalued a part of the game that some players enjoyed, and thus decreased their enjoyment of it.

...interesting.

Just let us reforge into a different motiff. Done. Crafting fixed max crafters get to control their appearance. Let this be on cooldowns ala ww bite or vamp bite so it's a bit rare. Let it require 100% mastering of whatever item it is. Done. Or even up anti and let all traits have to be mastered done. there is no conflict with farming now. You still have to farm for jewelry and whatever set you want in divines. This is not hard. Crafters need something it's not functioning atm

Agree with the bold but IMO the something should not be "more support (cosmetic even) for drop sets play."

"We all wear drop sets now but they look cool cuz somebody spent tons of skill and time on crafting and motif" is not my idea of better functioning crafting equipment system. the exact opposite in fact.

I didn't state this but also the ability to retool the trait maybe once a month or something. Like that mealstrom that you want sharpened. We'll take it to a max max crafter to use his cooldown on it and presto sharpened. Tip him the gg
