That is so true, as craftable items don't exist. Neither do BoE epics or it is impossible to upgrade your gear (at the moment). Valor point gear is ment to be an upgrade for you you're not getting out of your raids. Stop treating it like your main source of gear. On my paladin, I got 3 pve epics. The darkmoon trinket, the craftable chest and the craftable gloves. Apart from that I've got myself a pvp necklace (epic) and in a few days I'll make an epic OH with my alt (scribe). Next reset I will also be able to buy a pve necklace from Klaxxi, or maybe a different pve epic. So within 2 resets I went from 90 in quest gear to approx. item level 472, which is more than enough to start raiding.
You can seriously get gear in about a gazillion ways, so I don't see why you're complaining! Maybe you should spent some more time leveling and some less on the forums. At which point you'll actually know from personal experience what your talking about!
