Is crafting suppose to be this rediculous?

[Dakkin]

The cost to buy 20 unsealing charms off the vendor is 2 gold.

The cost to craft 20 unsealing charms is currently 14.5 gold.

Why?

The materials needed to craft 5 premium tempered clay refiner are worth like 8 gold by themselves. If you want to sell charms just craft the sets of 10.

Some "genius" game designer decided to make crafting a gold sink. The ONLY reason to craft level 2 and 3 recipes (in most cases) is to level your guild reputation... so you can spend EVEN MORE money on higher level recipes. It's completely backwards.

At least last weekend when i worked it out it was only worth it to craft sets of 5 which both the 10 and 20 sets price being above the vendor
