Either I'm not explaining myself very well, or I'm being told no one responding likes the concept of anything ever changing in this game. Let's try this in a Q&A format, then:
Q 1: Is there any fundamental difference between Choice and above materials from one non-Prime Roots zone and the same materials from other zones?
A 1: No, there isn't. All statistical figures are the same for any given grade of material no matter what zone it comes from. An Excellent-grade piece of equipment made with Fyrosian Choice-and-above materials has the EXACT SAME stats as the same equipment made with the same corresponding materials from other zones.
Q 2: Then what's the point of learning different races' crafting patterns?
A 2: None unless you're the type that enjoys mindless grinding for skill points.
Look, if the only reason against change is to maintain the status quo (that, I would like to remind people, is NOT increasing your playerbase any) then please don't weigh in on this topic. (continued)
