I'd like to see crafting at least make gear at Columi level. I love to do operations and my guild does setup times to do raids and such, but my schedule doesn't allow me to get to them very often so I find myself in lower gear with what seems like little hope to get better gear.
I don't have a ton of friends playing the game and I don't really do PvP so I'm stuck with my 126 level gear from Dailies and that is all I can get. Maybe if I take a vacation I can get in on some Operations or hard mode flashpoints to get better gear.
Some 136 level crafted gear would be nice. I know all you raiders hate when we part time players ask for better gear but I've spent a lot of time playing this game, I just haven't found the list of friends that are on the same time I am that will allow me to raid.
