I am at tier 2 weapon smith and an starting to not see much of a point. In the time it will take me to make a tier 4 weapon..not to mention the $$...I see on the elder gem vendor for 300 gems, I can obtain a better weapon in a shorter amount of time. Getting one data ration a day is ridiculous slowdown for small reward? Or am I missing something?
 
I enjoy crafting actually just a bit dismayed at the amount of effort spent for no reward and hoping I am missing 'something big'. The reputation vendors have similar versions of the tier 1/2 times and I can see this makes selling not really worthwhile as your items hardly sell as they are easy to obtain so I can't see crafting to just make gold either.

Thank you for the comments! Seems as if I did miss a few points. Still not sure if it is worth it to make any game $$ as I don't sell things well now and by the time I get to tier 4 I will have missed the 'rush' to probably make any decent gold...seems like I am behind the curve). I just like to craft so it is still a bit disappointing as by time I get to tier four I bet I have something better from elsewhere is my guess hmmm. We will see! 
 
Much appreciated info!!
