The Price of your Class Selection

I would like to point out the major current issue of the legendary crafting system. We all know the current prices are crazy for level our professions in Shadowlands but what does this mean for the player base and the difference in class selection.
The current issue is legendary base item costs and the massive price differences for classes of specific armor types.

*My servers current AH material prices used

Tailoring chest price:
Rank_1 : 3825
Rank_2 : 5790
Rank_3 : 9580
Rank_4 : 15550
Total gold to reach rank 4 Chest: 445,725g

Leather chest price:
Rank_1 : 22,880
Rank_2 : 36,178
Rank_3 : 54,662
Rank_4 : 91,170
Total gold to reach rank 4 Chest: 1,705,800g

Personally I’ve been farming till my eyes bleed and have rank 3+5 done of the leather chest till I can make rank 4 and I make any gold back I invest in the armor as I sell it. But the real issue is Leather/Mail and yes Plate will be paying more for a rank_1/2 base item then cloth has to pay for a rank 4.

The professions are broken and the main issue for leatherworking is the Callous hides. They are crazy expensive and have a terrible drop rate. I’m sure that blacksmiths have a bottleneck also but I do not currently have one to tell you what that is. Blizzard doesn’t need to fix this because it’s expensive to level your professions for those who wish to not farm you can make gold back eventually and profit. They need to fix the price imbalance for the quality of gear. They will never be extremely close in price but being 4-5x the cost…

My 2 cents hope it gets looked at and addressed.
