Like with the Dragon Pickaxe and Dragon Axe (I've seen this brought up several times) being devalued. This isn't necessarily true, since you need them for the Artisan axe/pickaxe. This being said, I feel like this would bring the value up, since the Dragon Axe is already 500k and the Dragon Pickaxe currently dropping.
I think the question here is in what way people see "value."
You may be correct with the game gold value of these things, but it could be argued that fewer people will use the D axe/pick due to the Artisan axe/pick being better. Thus, the cash value could go up, but the "game value," if you will, of those items decreases.
If, for instance, a new level 250 boss were introduced, a Golden Golem. This creature only drops cash stacks from 5 mil to 50 mil, the "cash value" of pretty much every item in the game would go up, but the "game value" of every other boss would decrease.
I would vote against the Golden Golem on the grounds of "game value."
I don't personally think that's a problem with Artisan, but I CAN understand those that think the devaluing of some content might be an issue (though to them, I also say if nothing ever loses "game value" all content introduced is dead when it comes out).
