[Berethos]

I think when Berethos said difficult they didnt mean it as you think it does.

Less literally impossible, and more that it requires a greater amount of steps and more time spent on that step than someone who has already done the crafting and gathering, and how that affects a persons perception of how difficult that step is. If you consider obtaining the items as a journey of 10 miles, you could consider those who already have all their crafting and gathering classes at 60 as being halfway there already versus those who don't and who are back at the start (don't read too much into the specifics of that analogy, it's far from perfect)...and so depending on who you ask, you'll get a different answer as to how difficult they feel it will be to reach the end.

Also, I think Nyalia is pretty much spot on as to how we will likely see the nerfs to the process. Things like boosted drop rates for the crystals are a good possibility (which doesn't need much as is, but it could be one way of them adjusting it), and I'm thinking maybe giving two currency from the beast tribe dailies instead of one as another possible change (though even a small change like that would speed things up considerably...you'd go from 3 per tribe per day to 6 per tribe per day - right now you get 3 unidentified items over 13 days from each ARR beast tribe...that one small change would double that, with you getting 6 unidentified items per beast tribe ever 13 days from just that source alone, which in the long run changes beast tribes from about 80 days to just over 40 if you only used it as an option).

Basically, expect to have to get the same stuff you do now, but the rate of acquisition will change at some point.
