Some points I would like to quickly put out there.

-SE said they didn't want master recipes being only for the niche few. Which correlates to easier to obtain mats.
- 3 star crafted battle gear would not be as difficult to craft as 3 star crafting gear or expert recipes.
-Expert recipes are going to be more challenging then master recipes.

Now none of this takes away from What Caimie did. And she is addressing it in a letter to SE among other things. All we can do for now is hope they take note and make some more adjustments.
