So I guess from this new update... like very update they do, a few new 1-2 items/craft becomes useful while the other 1000 items/craft remains worthless, thats not an economy. Panda Land may work differently... I really do not want to hear more about any game involving pandas though so... you can be right, idc.
if you think it worked that way you either didn't play much, didn't pay much attention, or you're just talking shit. craftable BoE blues and purples have always sold really well, especially anything coming from a BoP/BoE recipe. hell, even greens sold quickly- either because they were cheap and useful or they were great disenchanting fodder. there was always great interplay between gathering and crafting professions, and considering how many thousands of people on each server were farming and gathering- there's no way the system works unless there are also mechanics in place to take the products of those farming/gathering/crafting efforts out of the economy.

i guess there's also an outside chance you played on some backwater nearly dead RP server where nobody raided, as raiding was one of the primary sources of economic stimulus on every server... but it sounds more like you're just another talking head who won't allow themselves to see the forest for the trees by simple byproduct of three little letters either being referenced by others or imagined all on your own.
