"There has to be a reason for people to craft other than to get to Ee."

Does there? How much does it matter that crafting is dead?
It makes ee-san more miserable, for sure, but that's better fixed by addressing the trial.

Besides 'it's something people expect from mmos', it's not clear what value any part of crafting represents in its current incarnation, there's not really anything there to salvage.

We do have a general need for an inflow of ordinary equipment, crafting could be a decent way to solve some of that, but a sustainable solution here is probably pretty boring to look at and wouldn't necessarily make a ton of money for the crafter relative to the economy we're currently sitting in. That's not particularly useful for crafters, but it does at least solve a real problem.

Adding more craftable bestinslots to create more payoffs for crafting (which isn't really hurting anyone via lack of payoffs), feels like making considerably more problems than it solves.
