Increase in mid-level activity?

So, as I like so many others have been enjoying new alts as well as selling some recipes I pulled working the new first ward stories and the signature arcs, I noticed that there was #1 more stuff available than I'm used to seeing and #2 its actually moving for a reasonable price.

Now, I define reasonable as falling in-between "less than a level 40-50 equivalent" and "enough above crafting and salvage to make it decently worthwhile". I'm not one of those who won't touch anything with less than a 100m profit. And so seeing the likes of salvo and pounding slugfest and even rooting grasp be available at a variety of levels between 20 and 35 both crafted and recipe, and selling for between 500k and 2m each, seems to be pretty solid.

I'm guessing that the combination of lots of new alts for demand, and old players running the new mid-level content for supply is making it happen. Anyone else seeing the same? Or did I just hit a couple of particularly active weekend spikes?

There's the Halloween "Would you like a Rare Recipe, your level, on the spot?" mission going on. So if you're seing this VERY recently, that's the explanation. But as for the rest: Very cool, if true.

(I love that mission for its effect on the midlevel game.)

The 2nd part of the SSA is easy to burn through, with a lot of mid level drops. Perhaps the fact they are available and being placed ont he market is generating interest on the other side?

That and the price for mid-level salvage has plummeted, making it cheaper to craft.

Multiple salvage drops is probably having an affect.
