I think things are fine as are. There is more incentive to sell your items on the auction hall because the sellback price in the marketplace is only a fraction of what you paid. But if you were to make all item production player-based, that would require a lot of crafting recipes that will take a long time to balance, and crafters will need to communicate with their buyers to know exactly what they want. It's likely that nobody will be willing to craft low-level items leaving newbies with crappy equipment.
