We all know that Powder of Fortifying has been the crafter's demise. All I need for my current favorite suit is a repair deed every 2 weeks.
I understand that PoF was desired by some players when artifacts and runic crafted items were very rare, valuable and expensive. But today, Imbuing allows us to quite easily tailor our items for our specific needs and replace broken/lost items with moderate cost and effort.
Wouldn't it be time now to think about abolishing Powder of Fortifying altogether, and even limiting the maximum durability of all items to, say, 100? At the same time, each newly imbued item should get a durability of 100 per default. It sure wouldn't harm the players too much, and it definitely would make crafters important for the community again.
Especially power gamers and PvPers use more and more imbued equipment, which cannot be powdered anyway.
Food for thought!
