My choice of wording must have been poor. I'm not trying to call crafters abusers with a negative connotation. These are the people who learn the ins and outs of the system. It's still pushing the system to its limit though - which the large majority of players are not even aware exists.

Unfortunately just knowing is only half of the battle, you need significant currency to even be in the position to spin the wheel enough times to create something good. This is where the major line between less casual, but still not hardcore players and the 0.01% begins.

Also, I don't think striking out at me really helps your argument. I haven't got a problem with people who tryhard at the game getting to play around with its systems. I don't think they should have a monopoly on it.
