I would love for my Sorc to be my light/medium armor maker and be able to MAIL the medium armor to my Knightblade.... instead I need to keep bank slots free just for trading gear back and forth. Poor design choice IMHO.
Im with geekgirl.... I really like the Depth of the crafting system. Now to find a way to deal with the lack of mat storage.
Again I run 3 characters, each specializing in 1 or 2 crafting skills. I would love for my Sorc to be my light/medium armor maker and be able to MAIL the medium armor to my Knightblade.... instead I need to keep bank slots free just for trading gear back and forth. Poor design choice IMHO.
All Quest Gear - All Items I find are usually green (im below level 15) and I horde crafting material (unless im making potions). I think crafting is a waste and that you should use the gear you get from quests - just like any other MMO

Well while leveling that may work, they have already said that crafting end game gear is better then end game gear you can find.

Yah set bonuses are usually great but crafting is fairly time consuming and i seem to be leveling far quicker than my crafting skills are. Everyone has there own style of playing but i'm just gonna rush 50 than go back buy ton of mats from guild stores with all my level 50 gold and just grind it out. I wasted way more time than I care to admit creating a set bonus and than upgrading it to just blue, to just have it all replaced by dungeon gear of a higher level a few hours later. I guess the choice here is if you want to rush 50 or if you want a twinked out low level. I personally can't wait for end game.

The problem with that is if you spend all your points in black smithing or wood working or what ever, then you have less points for actual combat skills ...
Not really, there are 360 (or something) skillpoints to spend, and when I calculated my build which uses blacksmith, clothing and woodworking, I came to a total of 150 skillpoints needed. You can even max everything out if you are willing to take the time.@Shailla_Ketra
