I am sure blizzard addressed that problem because of previous xpacs where miners dictated the market for alot of professions, eg; engineering, blacksmithing and jewelcrafting. Was also noted that people would prefer to "farm" and then buy their way into content with said profession so hopefully we start seeing some changes to the culture of the game.
Come 2nd raid, there will be nobody caring about the gear they can make themselves without the respective profession (paladin with blacksmithing for example). You can only make epic gear as a blacksmith and that gear isn't raid quality without the upgrade tokens which are bottle necked by savage blood.
They made professions fucking useless and the only market that is worth a damn is inscription. There's no 615-630 BoE blues being sold or 640 epics being sold and once they are put up (which won't be for awhile because of the daily cooldowns and work order limits) they won't sell for shit since the only cost is the material not how long it took to make. Which comes to my next point, crafting professions yield shitty fucking gear given how long it takes to get the gear and how soon it will be replaced come raid time.
