That combined with an abundance of gil by much of the player base creates a market for which mats are of more value.

This may stem for the ability to quickly level DoW and DoM and the requisite move to leveling DoH and DoL classes. Hopefully this will change in 2.0, we will see. The fact remains the market we have right now is what we have for the foreseeable future.
Too true... And of course, all that DoH leveling floods the market with tons of finished product, driving the prices right down into the ground.

As much as I hate to say it, because I loved the concept, I really think allowing players to level up all crafts was a mistake.

They need to make gear break permanently or something to drive up the demand for gear and strip it from the wards faster (yeah right lol)
