Low level crafting is completely out of whack

Flashfirez23

I think there needs to be major changes to low level crafting. I understand this game is grindy but the problem is that your crafting skill will fall way behind and level extremely fast even if you spend hours gathering resources and crafting. This makes all craftables obsolete by the time you actually have the ability to make the item. It is a far better to just grind for glint and just purchase items or grind mobs for a particular item than it is to craft an item. This is because the amount of effort to craft low level items is honestly insane for what you’re getting. I don’t think low level crafting should literally take this long. It’s literally 10 times as long as it should be. Not to say that crafting shouldn’t take time to progress. Just that it should be very easy to level your trade skills and collect the items to make your weapons in the beginning and become a bigger commitment as you progress. My guild has spent dozens of hours collectively to craft even basic items and the amount of effort we put in does not seem worth the few items that are already extremely obsolete for our level we were able to make. Please fix this so that starting trade skills is not an extremely unrewarding experience like it is currently.
