My assumption is that obvious tiers in crafting skills are intended to be similarly required and the devs just haven't gotten around to updating everything yet, but I could be wrong.

( Fwiw, yes, I have made level 50 or 60 max-enchanted armor before. I'm fond of the Animal Nexus and have accumulated quite a few winterprizes as a side effect, so it seems reasonable enough.)
Let me just check yep history has shown us that caped content gear is quickly replaced when the level cap expands. sure I mean you might have made it in the past but given how crafting works and the material requirements I cant believe that any player is going to look at 50/60 max gear and desire to put in the work when 70 is just right around the corner only a few hours grind away.

inconsistencies ignored become standard practice, further that logic is compounded with its always been like that since alpha/beta....its quite circular logic and has no real bearing on if the practice is or should be when compared to the rest of the crafting system.

Edit: use and demand aside why would you force a player to learn A to learn B?
