True, the Crimson is more of a challenge than the Corruption (at least in regards to enemy specs), but calling it resourceless is a long way off IMO. I've consecutively found more ores, better loot and better terrain layouts in the Crimson than the Corruption. One thing to always remember is that terrain generation is random, apart from (supposedly) there always being two oceans, one jungle, either a Corruption biome or a Crimson biome and one dungeon, it's more than sufficiently random to give you some worlds with a lack of resources, in any biome.
