What was wrong with D&D 3.5 crafting rules?

This is not true in a good DMs campaign who has experience with the crafting system. Theres no issue with making people find / make materials, with the understanding that you cant just waltz up to "darkwood vendor_0_2" in the marketplace of City_0_4 and throw gold at the issue.

Oberoni.

Yeah, Id like to buy some mithril....leads to every dwarf in the place rolling onthe floor laughing. Sure the DM guide assigns it a value, if its for sale....

The Dungeon's Master Guide also assigns the fact that it is for sale. If you change that, then Oberoni (and making the class balance worse).
