Crafting and Gathering in Heavensward

And there lies the problem i HAVE to buy mats off the MB as some of my leveling crafts require other class items, so then i got a choice pay the absurd prices or level up the other class to get the item, which then requires another class in order to level and it turns into a cascade effect where you require to level up all crafting classes together, rather then 1 by 1 like you could before.

I dont mind it takes longer or the recipes are a bit more challenging, i hate how leather worker is pure mob farming now and you spend 10-15 mins farming just enough mats for say 1-2 leathers.
The economy on lich has been ruined by monopolizing of the marketboard, before i could make stuff and sell it...now i cant do that because nothing sells no one will pay the insane prices for the class only items...

If they made it so the lv 60 and 60 star crafting required the other class items rather then leveling up items id be happier, but instead i need tons of holy water from alchemy which is alot of money on lich...then suddenly you find you just suck 500-1mil into mats alone for leveling...and the only real way to make money in game is crafting..

Its catch 22.
