I have played with crafting a lot. I have also spent a lot. I was doing the 20 hour ones as much as possible and then they patched it so we could only run one of them in each tier at a time.
I chose to spend dilithium (zen) and EC to buy items and craft that way. If you can get your hands on the level 10 gear, the 5 hour run is far more lucrative than the 20 hour; it is more than double the value plus you can get the occasional crit bonus.
So if you level items vs. time crunchers, but keep them at the max level +15 you have a good shot at gaining bonus rewards.
I'm also at level 12, almost level 13 on beams. I could do exactly what cryptic wants and spend some more $$$ to do it, but I'm not worried about it yet. When I get it there, I'm more than happy to craft items for anyone in the fleet
I'd love to see others adventures so far. I'm pretty excited by the new system, I'm not excited by cryptics blatent greed, but I still like that they made crafting meaningful again
