Prices are set by the person who is selling it for the cheapest. There would still be someone with an alt who can make the mats they can't make on their main, and that person would have even more control over the market. A specialization system does not just benefit the casual crafter over the "hardcore" crafter. The "hardcore" crafters (top 1%) will benefit from that sort of system the most.
