In the opinion of the hardcore tradeskillers are:
1. The Rare materials to rare or just right?
2. The Interdependancy taken too far?
My opinions:
1. Slighty too rare, my wife and i have worked it out to about 1 rare per 1000 harvests, i think this is a little to rare 1 in 100 would make it too easy though so maybe 1 in 250-500?
I think that wouls strike a nice balance and allow people to atually progress in areas that require them.
2. this is totally out of whack, it is impossible to make any end products past lvl 20 tradeskills <ok there are a few> without haveing a partner/broker.
This totally removes the ability of non guilded or casual players to reach the higher levels without buying pp from outside sources WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT.
