Increase Prices
NPC Traders trade cheap raw materials in large quantities for things people want. Price rises.
Cobalt is (probably) referring to these worthless things:

Which is basically a 1 in 20 chance of actually getting an armor recipe someone wants (and probably 19 inscription / insignia / exquis’d-quartz recipes on average). It’s a huge loss, check the recipe prices on TP before bothering…
Also… b/c of the stupid way they made this Celestial crafting work, forces even MORE CRAFTING because if you want any of it you have to have a level 80 with that Discipline @ 400 … IE: big spike in crafting materials use for all those people who weren’t “Master Craftsmen” already on their 80…
