It's kind of plain to see that SE doesn't want everyone to maintain and run every level 50 craft. The amount of effort required for each trade/field craft is pretty high and time consuming. So, no, you won't be able to just self-maintain unless you had all the time in the world. If a good majority of players were involved in at least 1 DoH & DoL craft, business and demand would be at a constant high for different mats and everyone would be making money.

SE put together some extensive craft professions because they all compliment one another (at least from what I've seen so far). Only this past weekend have I noticed more attention being taken to the marketplace board. The first week, no one was really touching it. Use it and love it. There's more to the game than just dungeon grinding.
