I do believe it will impact Auction house.

Nobody will need old stuff, starting players will already be high enough to not even need the stuff.

Which means of course they will skip crafting since they will end up buying gear from npc's and doing runs while ones who refuse to buy potions wont get parties because doing duty finder stuff.

Sure once in a while they will but they will not sit there in Que waiting, I dont its like 20-30 minutes long so I ask my cousin to get his gf and friend make a full party I aint waiting that long.

waiting even 1 hour once was a bit harsh I dont think I can do that anymore.
