On the contrary. I think gear in general should be crafted and not plucked from some monsters asshole. Creating a named piece of legend fits very well with that. Too bad all the crafted legendaries are utter shite.. well with maybe the exception of the leather one which at least has a little fun component. (Armor crafting) Professions in WoW are so incredibly undervalued it's almost hillarious, if it weren't so sad. Anyway, ascribing this superficial value to an item because it's orange is just outdated. The legendaries of the past started as quest weapons, went on to drop weapon, back quests and then became random items and now we are at armor pieces at last that serve a purpose. The worst part is the RNG in getting them.
@Topic: I only bothered with the very first legendary belt. Kept it for the collection, but won't be crafting another one most likely, not worth the time.
