I thought I once heard Bioware say the the best gear in the game was supposed to be player made.... but from what I have seen that is not even close to the case.... I feel that I have wasted my time as a craftsman when the best stuff comes from playing bazillions of war zones, something I just don't have the time to do, but still want to be competitive in PvP....have to say that I am very disapointed.
