make crafting gear only so people wouldnt complain. its also much easier to just take it out and make the balance equal.

in terms : make crafting gear only A.
B. remove crafting altogether so people will do less complaining and more shrouds!
Something tells me that those of us who have spent time & resources to level crafting would disagree with getting rid of it. We like it. Even though there are some kinks, and we may not like all the new ingredients required... It still beats hoping to get random loot near as good as what we can craft or having to buy it on the AH.

Also, even with the new ingredient changes it is still a viable option to make a good boss beater with Cannith Crafting rather than making a MinII GS weapon. One just costs more time leveling crafting while the other requires more time running shroud. It gives us options. For a guy like me with young children, I don't get to play as much as I used to. For this reason, making DR breakers with Cannith Crafting is preferable to making a MinII since I can't run shroud as much as I can level crafting.

The argument that crafting causes people to run less shrouds is wrong also. 1: I see many shrouds every night on the LFM. 2: Shroud is a decent quest to run for stuff to deconstruct for crafting since it has 12 chests in it.
