WTF?

Making items that were bound when used for Alchemy bound afterwards won't really affect me, as I don't sell anything but mats(And even then i only do it when i'm bored or need money)but i CAN se how it WILL kill a large-ish percent of the market, between that and the Basil thing(why remove minerals from terminals D: ?)I see a moderately manageable version of the trade channel in the near future(If it doesn't just fall into oblivion due to the auction house)but really, that's the only good thing about it.

Now, the reason i made this thread was because of the fact that THEY RAISED ENERGY COSTS FOR CRAFTING!

could someone please explain the reasoning behind this? I really don't see what this will do aside from making people even more pissed off than they already are(And that certainly won't help anyone).
