What is problematic here is that this change appears to be happening without any affect on non-crafted gear. Something will need to be done will adventure loot as well if BoE for crafted is going to work. I hate (really really hate) to compare this to WoW but it worked there...you may not like it but it is working.

The only thing that I'm noticing with higher tier combines is that they all cost the same (if I harvested the resources myself). The addition of multiple rares to T4/5 rare upgrade recipes is (and this is my guess) a way to force an increase in rare gear at higher levels. I harvest all my rares so my combines all cost the same regardless of tier. It takes me more time at higher levels to get rares but hey, that is the way it should be, I think.
