No. I'd agree that some things are not balanced but why exactly do they need to be? Some would make the argument that each crafting class being unique makes things more interesting and is better for the economy. Dawn serge is annoying but its used in left side end game crafting pieces that should be expensive.. goldsmith and armorer don't even make any expensive gear at this level. Do you suggest we increase armorer/goldsmith ore usage by x5 on useless crafts just because weavers and leatherworkers are making left side crafter pieces and their mats are harder to get? The level 67+ armorer chest pieces and gloves all take 2 or 1 dawn serge + the reisui, they aren't exactly on easy street and goldsmith got the timed nodes.

Camphor was probably the biggest imbalance of hw crafting, no one had it as bad as leatherworker during 3.2 and it had nothing to do with skins. It was good though because people could put in extra effort and craft some leather if they wanted to make a nice profit. Would of been tedius to give each crafter a similar mat but it was nice for just 1 crafter. Not everyone agrees the system needs to be balanced or that it is really even that imbalanced to begin with, and I have not seen any good arguments as to why it needs to be balanced.

It's a desynth, and probably meant to be a little reward to the people who bother leveling desynth. I did a rough test on 100 items and dawn serge cloth price was about 20k-25k per cloth, market price is around 45k. Dravanian mistletoe and coerthan tea leaves gated 4 different crafters 2 levels into the expansion, dawn serge is just kinda annoying. It's probably not gonna be sold in shops any time soon.
