I didn’t understand if you were being sarcastic or not. My main thing is that artificing was something that was seemingly originally designed to be done periodically, where the knowledge was valuable but the resources were easy and the artifice sets were not too hard to brew/ create. Certain resources are not easy to get Obsidian (Because it’s used multiple times in many runes) or Linstanium because there are only a handful of ores into the world at any point in time.
The infusion specialist was designed as a quality of life update. It doesn’t even cost money. If we could transfer the applied set for some amount of dram I would pay that. I think @Riley_D even said that the point was to avoid the whole 2 steps forward 1 step back. For example I got some 213 perfect techno gloves late last week, last night I got some non perfect 214 gloves. Normally that would be a no brainer, but I’m weighing whether it is worth the effort to have to remake that set for a 1 armor gain.
