Crafting has been ignored in game for far too long. I have 9 traits in everything, master crafter in all skill lines and I get nothing for it. I propose several changes to the crafting profession. 1. there needs to be a title called master crafter that can be seen just like master wizard or dragonstar arena champion etc, weve spent the countless hours researching traits and the time to level all skill lines. It needs to have prerequisites like 9 traits in everything including alchemy, rune knowledge, and level 50 in all skill lines. 2. I think it prudent to be able to craft and upgrade jewelry, there can be a certain upgrade like dreugh wax or tempering alloy, but just for jewelry and the customization of sets can be profound. However, since most crafted sets are total crap with few exceptions, the sets need to be either revamped and made better or the really bad ones deleted and replaced with better sets as we haven't even seen a new set in almost a year since dark brotherhood was released. 3. the cost of cp 160 gear needs to be rethought as its 10x the cost from 150 to 160, but offers minimal bonuses. The cost should either be reduced by 80% at least or the stats of 160 gear at the very least doubled to account for the high cost. 4. now with the revamp from cp instead of vet rank, all those mats from cp 10 to cp 140 are useless now unless its your first character. I propose revamping the system again and widening the range so for example calcinium which is heavy cp 10-30 now goes cp10-80, galatite cp 90-180, quicksilver 190-280, voidstone 290-450 and rubedite 460-600 or whatever you want to make it so only high level cp players can use the high level mats and it makes the stats greater. the cp cap for armor and weapons all around needs to be revamped for the drop gear as well to drop at their cp level and not cap at cp 160. I urge you to think about my proposals and make changes to the crafting skill as its dying. I also have one more suggestion, enable basic trait gems to be purchased in game from in game vendors and not have to buy from other players. You can buy the basic style stones which is fine, but you cant buy the trait gems for well fitted or training except from guild traders at inflated prices. I make several sets of training gear every week. I have like 450 emeralds, at my rate of crafting, id run out in a couple of months, yes I make that much
