Please read through the entire thread before you give advice that has already been addressed.
The amount of items no, but the amount of items created that require expensive materials (i.e. items requiring sparks), Blacksmithing patron orders are higher than any other profession.
If you don’t think my solution of providing more of the expensive materials more often is a good solution, then cool, I’m sure there are other solutions to explore. But don’t attack the validity of my post. I have empirical evidence that Blacksmithing patron orders are exponentially more expensive than every other profession due to the lack of materials provided.
Edit:
Exhibit A: Blacksmithing crafting orders absurdly expensive by comparison
See how this was created in the general forums over a month ago. The inconsistency is still there, as described by others than myself.
