thats 45 to 50 in like a couple days.... you couldn't do that back in the day
The problem is the lack of available local leves to use those 99. I could take tons of leves 20 levels below me, but I'd get no xp from them even if I pushed quality to max. Once you get into the 35 - 40 range the leve well all but dries up. This happens in every craft class, though the dry patches may very slightly depending on the craft.

Here is a link to a thread I started a long while back that analyzes Alchemy leves. You can apply this to any of the crafts and come up with the same kind of results:
