I am, up until now, a happy Tinker. After years spent camping rare drops and many many mountains of Yttrium mined, after many hundreds of thousands of platinum, I finally reached a high enough skill to be able to make a decent return on my investment. 4A or AAXA boxes were the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
The proposed change to Chronal, Discordant and Bazu / LB augs will remove a huge demand for them by many guilds raiding in DOD. Why spend an additional 100k minimum for a Bazu aug with stats that are exceeded by many group aug drops? Even the LB aug - attractive certainly to Tanking classes with 45AC - will now have a big question mark hanging over it come time to spend those DKP. Knowing that an AAAA box is required to turn it into something useful will stop the majority bidding.
The proposed change to Cultural will kill the Tinkering business stone dead. Shortly after, Cultural Armor will become a quaint memory for those die hard Tradeskillers.
