It is my opinion that the drop rate for recipes should be increased OR recipes should be available for purchase outright - as a regular recipe would be.

Thank you!
I believe this is done to add value to the lower level crafted gear, especially recipes. I'm not sure on the price now, but the Lv. 15 Expert Recipe used to cost as much as 1M due to demand from twinking.

IMO, the lower level crafted gear caters more towards twinks than for PvE. Even if you're lucky enough to get all the materials and craft the item, you'd outgrow it in a few levels anyway.
