Well, to say the truth, I think tailoring is profitable, that is if you collect your own resources. I think its somewhat buggy being able to buy bolts from a vendor, then instantly being able to craft something to be resold to the same vendor for greater value.If that were so, people would stand at moonglow bank/tailor afk and let their bank balance grow. I do however agree that anything GM crafted should be worth more than normal, which as of now, is not the case.
Through GMing tailoring (I collected resources myself), I managed to buy a 70k home, and I still had 80k in the bank, which allowed me to GM magery/Resist. The only thing is we need more uses for tailoring. As Lindenwood (i believe) mentioned, making leather armor more valuable in combat would be a starter. Down the road it would be nice to see different leathers (yes, as in AoS) with higher ARs, as well as special leather armor as well, like Elven Armor, Dragon Hide armor, etc. Maybe make use of gems in special crafts as well, so they can become a tradable item among players. The more money circulated between players, the better the economy will grow. Giving our items to NPCs mean its a one way road. The items given to the vendor dont go back to our economy in any way.
