exactly, which while it may be good for DoW and DoM on the face, is bad for crafters in general, and in the long term not good for DoW and DoM either, because crafters generally stop making things that arent profitable, and start price guaging even more on high end items.

It basically creates a system where low end items are cheap, but being cheap, other than a few cases, no one will ever make them because they arent profitable, and high end items cost an arm and a leg, because crafting requires a huge monetary investment to get to make the things of value. See ffxi.

NQ low/mid level rings made for lower than cost, and almost none made because it has very little value,
HQ capped rings costing more than the average player can earn in 2 weeks, because the crafter had to pay his way up to level cap.

It happens now, but these changes will only increase the drasticness of the price differences, unless it is not accompanied by some very major changes in other things.
