Developers, are you ever going to fix expert crafting?
 
This is how I see it, if 80% of the player base are DPS, then why the cupcake is there not a DPS set?
 
I think armor crafting professions should be set up differently.  Unlike weapon levels, armor, be it cloth/leather/heavy should be somewhat static by set, at the expert research level.  First there needs to be a DPS set.  If that entails changing the first pieces that only cost 1 Eldan fragment into a set with DPS specials focusing on lots of red circuits, then do so.  BUT, all sets in expert research need to have the same level of stat possibilities, only dependent on the power core used.  So a tank set, no matter what piece you are crafting, no matter what tier you learned it, should not have less stat chance then a piece you learned at a higher tier; as it it currently set up.  Now if you rearranged the healer and tank set up, so that they were separate entities, your current set up would make a little more sense, except for the first set of armor that would need it's own column and stat boost.  Boots and gloves, then shoulder and helm, finally legs and chest, but I'd rather they were treated as a group, not as a tier of discovery equals it's stat possibility.
 
Please, make crafting fixes/optimization a priority.
 
Thanks

I'm not a big crafter, but I always max at least one crafting profession on my main in any MMO I do.  For WildStar, since I was tired of being a glass cannon in other games, rolled a warrior with armor/mining to go with it. 
 
I can +1 this thread for the simple fact I find Elder Game crafting to be a hot mess. As others have said before I'm sure, much of the gear doesn't make sense, progression through the trees takes entirely too long, and there doesn't seem to be much incentive to do so.
 
As a prime example from personal experience; the first 'Adventus' piece I crafted was a Vitalium Dps piece, and after I saw the sweet looking orange/black armor model I wanted to make the rest of the set.  It's been two months of grinding out Data Fragments and switching skills back and forth, crafting the tank set, to finally reach the final schematic I needed.  I've crafted almost the entirety of the Tanking set in my quest for a costume...So I get where your coming from.
