the issue goes deeper then that

why bother ever doing anything but selling raw materials if you want to make money at all, ever?

why is it that ore sells for 3k each
the ingot sells for 3k(but cost 3 ore to make)
and the item that you make with said ingot also cost 3k(even though it took alot more then the ingot to make it)

the pricing has gone semi retarded due to crafters who just do not want to or know how to play the market and just want to dump everything at any cost asap
it doesnt matter how slow or how fast an item will sell, its happening across the board and its making it really hard to want to make anything for anyone ever
