Don't mean to be rude Onslaught, but you are arguing from an "I want a free sandwich" point of view.
You don't need TA-ed laen to do combat. You don't need the best possible weapon either. Darke has developed a culture of "if it isn't the absolute best I don't want it".
"We have 1 active armour tink, who charges 1 MILLION mcgrail to have a thranx armour suit crafted (this doesn't even count TA and fort costs). Not because he's a dick, but because _he can_ he's the only show in town, we have no choice."
So play an armour tink for a little while. Seems like there could be a market for it. 1 million for a thranx suit with most runes seems quite reasonable to me too. And AFAIK there's two active armour tinks.
