They never should have allowed these quest rewards without having the crafters involved in the process. Previous rewards yeilded schematics which allowed the crafting side of the game to be involved in the gaming process. By cutting out the crafting from part of the process, the dev's are bascially saying that all crafters are now second class citizens. This has serious consequences in the viability of the game as it exists now as more and more crafters abandon their professions to play the combat game or start "gouging". This in turn will drive prices on goods upwards in a never ending spiral. If people are saying 300K is to much for a barc repair kit what will they say when it hits 5 million? The spiral up has already started. The problem is how do we stop it.

If I were to put my cynical hat on I'd suggest that the devs knew the CU would mothball the crafting community and thus added the 'finished' quest rewards to save their favourite combat players the anguish of not being able to find a crafter to make their quest reward for them (poor little dears.....)

It matters not to the that any player with a pure crafter might as well not bother to buy ROTW because its pretty much all combat based.......
