On top of latest crafting changes (you need about 25% xp more for every crafting profession) and nerfing drops from elemental creatures (like getting 5 wyrdwood from a wolf instead of about 90) which made the grind painful. The PTR changes to crafting legendary mats, completelty destroyed leveling professions for new players.
Now you can craft tolvium, cinabar and other stuff by using for example orichalcum ore, ironhide etc…
Yes, the price of ori was laughable, considering it was endgame material, but the new change isn’t the answer to it. Tolvium, cinnabar and other mats should be hard to get. It makes luck items and food actually worth using and spending money on.
You need insane amount of materials to level up a profession.
Let’s say you farmed everything for weaponsmithing from 150-200(iron,timber,starmetal ore, flux and stuff) with the exception of orichalcum ore.
Ori went from 0.01 to 0.6 on my server (around 900ppl peak). Let’s also say, you need like 50k ori to level up weaponsmithing from 150-200. People who bought 50k @ 0.01 and leveled it up sooner, needed only 500gold to do that. Now, let’s say you want to buy ori after the update. You need 50k x 0.6 = 30k. It’s 60x higher, on top of previous nerfs. Not to mention, it’s almost impossible to farm now. I went to check my ori farming spot at 3 am today. There were 7 PVP flagged people farming it (keep in mind there were about 150 ppl online). Same goes with ironwood. It’s completely unfair. It will be a nightmare for people who didn’t focus on crafting before the update. Same goes for engineering. Wyrdwood is really hard to farm now since the wolves got nerfed to the ground. There are always at least 5 people camping wyrdwood and ironwood spots on my server. Also the price of wyrdwood and ironwood has also skyrocketed, at least 10x increase in price. I got most of my crafting proffesions at 170-200 now. But I want you guys to think about other players, who didn’t focus on it untill now. It will be almost impossible to level it now. With or without buying anything. There are too many gold sinks in this game, the market is terrible, most of stuff is worthless. You can’t simply expect new people to farm for months to level up a single profession or spend like 300k gold to do it. What do you guys think?
Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes. English isn’t my frist language, but I hope you can understand what I mean.
I also understand that people are panic selling ori, ironwood and other materials now. The price will probably be lower than it is now. But still, it will be a massive increase compared to pre-update and a massive slap in the face for people trying to level up professions.

You’re not even bringing up the biggest issue. Now there are prestige levels to professions. All materials will rise in price as people try to grind out those recipes when they’re at 200 crafting.
That has a way bigger impact than being able to turn the white T5 materials into legendary materials.

That’s also true! I forgot to mention that. Thanks.
