Frustration with Tradeskills

Is there legit any point to this stuff?

If nothing else it serves some use for the Thurgadin tradeskill quests (shawl particularly). Otherwise, P99's admins implemented it on the timeline they did because it's classic, for better or worse. Unfortunately the one thing here that isn't classic is the relatively stable P99 population. Stuff like fine plate (or later on, Wu's) sold pretty well because the original game still had lots of new players joining in 2001. That's not the case here on P99, so as you point out, that stuff doesn't have any demand by the time it's added.

Do tradeskills in this game if you enjoy doing it. If you can make money off it, great, but don't treat profit as a primary motivator.

its like when people complain that iksar monks are superior in every way to human monks (except exp penalty which gets later removed)....

Off-topic, but a correction: Only class penalties get removed on P1999. Racial penalties remain in place and get made self-only, meaning the Iksar always levels quite a bit slower than his human equivalent even if both types of monk level a little faster than they did during the class penalty era.
