What makes me laugh is that there are so many people saying it's not a problem because they're "easy" to get. They neglect to realize that if it's so easy to acquire then it's existence is pointless. In their zeal to be elitist, they've defeated the one angle elitists love to leverage -- that they have something you don't. If it's so simple to acquire, who cares if it costs 1, 3, 3 million, or even 0? The entire masterworking system is a joke and seems only kept around to enforce another artificial hamster wheel grind and give Apex Armorer (a seasonal challenge that shouldn't exist to begin with) a reason to force materials out of completionists. EDIT: Seems only one person in my replies can actually read. Not surprised.
