Guild Wars 2

i think gw2 has crafting all wrong.crafting should be fun and enjoyable but it is not.plus if you dont buy the stuff from tp your in for the grind of your life.they need to totally redo crafting they got it wrong and need to man up and fix it.what is it for any way.i can buy any gear on tp cheaper then what i can make it for.ther chef is the only crafting profession that works good

Mind sharing with the rest of us the thought process that enabled you to reach that ground breaking discovery?
Fun and enjoyable is a very subjective term. While I don’t sit here in my chair doing my daily crafting in fits of giggles I find crafting more fun and enjoyable than TP flipping. That is my opinion an I’m pretty sure that there are plenty of people for which the opposite is true, as well as plenty of people that find neither one of those activities fun and enjoyable. Maybe you are one of those.
As for your assertion that you have to buy your mats from the TP, I fail to see what is the problem with it. Did the manufacturer of your shirt farmed the cotton? Does your local restaurant have a farm at the back where they raise the livestock and farm the vegetables? Very few industries work like that in the real world, I see no reason why it should work like that in game.
And as for your assertion that you can buy gear cheaper on the TP than it costs to craft it, you are only half right. What you mean is that you can buy SOME gear cheaper than you can craft it.
I certainly try and make sure that what I craft brings me some profit and I craft and sell goods every single day. Crafting is indeed profitable and the goods useful for someone, as you can easily find out by just searching the TP for craftable lvl80 epics. They do not give you any XP, so they are created because they are profitable.

Looking forward from hearing from you in more detail about what exactly is wrong with the system as it is at the moment, and more importantly what are your suggestions that would allow it to be better.
