There is just no market for any of this stuff. I originally leveled mining to fund mats for goldsmithing, because the mats were expensive. In less than a week the value of all the materials has hit rock bottom. There is nothing you can gather that is worth ANYTHING. The most valuable item that can be gathered is shards...which can be done at level one. There is still some value in the unspoiled nodes, but another 2-3 days and they will be worthless too. This has to be the only game I've played where the gathering profession couldnt make money selling their gathers.
