I've noticed some really ugly changes on my server. For one thing, people no longer sell Primal Mights for gold. Why? Its not worth it. What they do instead is sell Primal Mights for... the 5 primals used to create it.

The thing is that the 5 primals collectively are worth more then the Primal Might is, so if you make and sell a Primal Might you're actually losing money. (Most Alchemists I know also don't even bother selling Transmutes now, since Earth to Water makes 3x more gold then you can get selling a Transmute.)

The other major problem is in Engineering and Blacksmithing, where the last 15 points are absurdly expensive in materials. What I see is people sitting in trade offering 20g to anyone who brings them the materials to craft something.

Thats right. You want a scope made? Let me make it, and I'll give you 20g for the privilege.

When we get to the point that crafters are paying other people in order to get to advance their skill, the system is completely broken.
