Crafting is great. You don't have to go build up a fortune to craft (like EQ) and it makes a lot of sense for RP purposes. You actually get to go through mining to smelting bars to pounding them into the shape you want. I like the fact that crafters are important in this game. I don't have to pick on the low chars that can't fight the mobs with uber-loot for my customers, everyone needs me... it's good to feel needed Consigning is a bit of a pain since you can only put 5 items on a consigner at a time, but I can understand why, you have better chance of selling your item at a decent profit when the market isn't flooded with items.
