Guild Wars 2

I have the same problem as many other players how do I get my lower tier Cloth and Leather like linen an wool.

Currently you get armour and weapons wich has almost the same level as you character and salvagable items and container both of which are depending on the zone you are playing.

My suggestions to make about half of the armour and weapons which drop in lower level zone of the same level as the zone. This way you get extra items you can salvage for the required materials instead of only having big piles of silk

I think the high demand and prices are intended, so new players that are leveling can earn a little more of those mats to keep up with end game players that have it easier to farm gold in general.

That is the way it works. I can’t remember the spread but it’s either 60/40 or 80/20. It used to be much lower.

Though they are somewhat at a lost cause if wanting to craft for their gear as they level.

Yeah. I was a similar player in that I wanted to craft my gear as I levelled, but I gained levels TOO fast; my crafting just could not keep pace. >.> So I ended up just buying stop-gap blue/green gear until I could afford Rares and Exotics.
