Would it hurt the lore police if they deleted at least half if not more of all mats from 1 to 70. Crank up the xp even more in those levels and people won't even remember that the game has a 50 types of sand (just a guess).
That would require another overhaul of the ARR and HW doh/dol job quests, and changing a LOT of leve requirements, crafting recipes and workshop turnins.


Should they do that? Probably. Will they? Doubtful, its a lot of overhaul.
