Lol and in skyrim, making a million iron daggers lets you make weapons better than anything in all of the lands history.
Game mechanics and realism don't always match up. You can always consider that you're "the One" in the game and thus normality doesn't apply or you could role play being a genius craftsman the world hasnt seen before?
Using Skyrim as an example doesn't do you many favors, it was stupid in that game too. If you can make for yourself the best gear in the game, then what is the damn point of solving puzzles or beating enemies besides to simply progress through the story? The reward portion for doing those things is completely negated and made irrelevant. You might as well not have those in the game at all, and force everyone to craft.
