Well... crafting magical equipment needs only to be practical if acquiring magical equipment plays a big role like it does in 3e and 4e. If magic items are supposed to be *special* easy and practical item creation may not be advisable.

True enough, but D&D settings typically have huge amounts of magical stuff floating around. Low-magic D&D is possible but isn't the norm.
