furthermore as the weeks accumulate and players start outfitting in AF2 or iLevel 90 gear the value of crafting is just going to continue to nosedive.

45k for a peacock ore? sure! I'll make money off crafters as much as possible while they don't realize these facts.
45k for time you don't spend griding tomes when you already made several mil from crafting is really nothing. Also i would hope as new content comes out crafting also gets new content.

Other than the time you spent lvling where if you were smart you made money doing anyway... You can take 2 mins to make an item someone pays 50-60k for. I personally thank the people taking even half an hour of their time to grind cm and ak for their tomes.
