Nobody said someone cant,some people just dont prefer crafting.
Why should the game force you to use crafting?it should be an option that gives you something similiar to some of the best gear in game for certain level,which you mentioned down there.
Still,is it really needed to implement such things in crafting system?
Mate this is "suggestion" forum, soo any healthy, discussion/suggestion is good.
Still, you can hate or like crafting, but you sure use crafting gears, but since many threads are made before that humans do not have right energy defense gears, I suggested it, still I guess it is the best to not touch anything unless in future we get higher caps, if/when that happens.
