Who does this benefit?

Not me. Tome gear is ilvls ahead of Eikon now. Its just Glamour.
Not the crafter. They paid/farmed for mats worth millions of gil at the time and are selling at a monumental loss.

Now if the prices had been more reasonable back when it was new, I might have gone for it. And of course, 'Reasonable Prices,' is subjective. There are players out there with enough gil to buy entire housing wards. Then there is the 99% of players who don't gave millions of gil on hand to throw at whatever the latest crafted set is.
I remember all of these. And they were trying to make millions of gil selling relic mats as well.

Now I suppose to feel sorry for the crafters because they're making less money because of the gatherer bots? Hell no.
