I think we still have to wait to see the full effect on prices.
However I think the lower prices and availability of mats is a very good thing. If it is easier for new players to craft gear then they will stick with the mod and keep playing. As well as feel useful and helpful to the team, and try different classes to see what they like to play the best. Also some of the items you listed being on the AH are below the cost to craft even now, this has always happened as when people are looking to get gold they sell things for less then they are worth to get it to sell quickly. For example to craft a Swadian Studded Steel Shield you need 2 Phoenix Feather which alone cost 2M on the market so at 1.5M someone lost gold.
It should not take 6 months to a year to craft a quality item if you are actively playing. You used to have to be a scammer or really lucky to progress quickly or take a lifetime to progress slowly. None of those previous methods seemed very good to me as I am honest and actually have other things to do then play NI. So the way I see it is the only people being hurt by the changes are people who used to try to make a bunch of gold off of people since you can not create a monopoly anymore. If you're running a fair shop just adjust your prices accordingly since prices have changed now and you will be fine.
The way it is now makes the game fun and accessible to all which is great. If this had happened years ago I think that NI would be even more popular. I have seen several people quit because it was way to time consuming to get anything. Now the casual player can actually play NI which is great! Legendarys are still rare to give high end players something to work for, but people can play and can do just fine with craftables making it so everyone can play and have fun without needing to be carried by a team or hope someone drops decent gear for them. NI is better then it has ever been! Thank you Dev team for all the hard work to improve the game.
