Guild Wars 2

easy way to create more demand then supply is to make crafting recipes require more mats. i think if we were to times the amount of mats needed for the tier 1-5 items by 7-10 times more it would create more demand. i think this would be a nice solution
example something that needed 10 green wood logs and 10 copper would then need
70-100 green wood logs/copper

How to instantly screw over new players to the game! Nice first impression there. I am not sure you have thought the implications of this idea through.

how would that screw over new players when they could farm mats the same as now if anything it would help them make more money?

What if those new players actually wanted to use their mats for crafting? They would then not just be limited by the rare drops, as it is now, but also an insane grind to make up the number of basic mats.
