I have 2 views on this.

First, it's a pittance. Outside the flat 300k item from an npc, on aether at 11am this morning they were all barely over 100k each, and I am sure the prices will drop significantly in the next few days.

Second, however, is they make the required crafting/gathering stats way too high. They should have leveled them out to be gathered/crafted in scrip gear, high end crafting and gathering should def never have been a requirement.
