Why craft journeyman armor?

Looks like the meta is to craft high-quality apprentice armor just enchant it up to +7 (or so). It's cheaper and easier to find the materials for. So why do we need to craft journeyman armor?

I made myself an Epic Academus Monitor Breastplate. Pretty good T3 heavy armor!
But compared to a Polished Tin Breastplate that is Epic and enchanted to +7, the only stat that's lacking in the Armor stat (and that's still not too bad).
It's the same for most pieces.

There needs to be a reason to seek higher-tier gear. So how can this problem be solved?
Maybe cap enchant stats? Maybe make journeyman enchanting more accessible (it's stupid expensive).

    why craft JM gear? because people will min/max on mmos. even if JM takes longer to enchant if you can do so its probably better to do so. the main thing right now is what gear is going to give you more over all power? what peice of gear when enchanted will give more primary stats and power. if its JM gear then players will craft it and work on enchanting it. what else are you going to do after making your lvl 10 gear?

    enchanting beng looked into a nerf aswell so we see that sometime soonish too which will make JM gear better too

    I am personally looking ahead. I hope the enchanting isn't a "nerf" as much as an adjustment. Maybe JM enchanting can be made more easily available and inexpensive? I don't know.
    I only have 1 piece of enchanted apprentice gear (neck).

    MrWoolf, I'm in that category you mention, which is why I wear JM gear :) SUPER expensive to enchant though.
