This, tbh i feel sorry for the artists that designed the new pvp/pve sets no selfrespecting player will use them when crafted rein supreme.
Making crit crafted gear bis is a terrible mistake that harms the economy more likely, the prices will become astronomical soon. On my server the crit crafted sabers are already costing millions and as they will be bis too you can expect them to only rise.
This same thing happened in lotro when crit crafted jewelry became bis, the prices were insane as the mats were hard to get and you needed to crit to make them. People just ended up rolling alts for crafting.
They just should make augment kits (belt buckle) and spread them around the professions, armstech (blaster augmentation kit), artifice (lightsaber augmentation kit) and so forth.
The new sets was the thing i was waiting the most from 1.2, more to achieve/work for and now it seems were are getting a bucket of mods, enhancements and armorings and will all look like level 30´s.
Really not happy about this.
