Mjollren --
If there was a surplus of OP materials, reducing them slightly might be a good idea.
As it is, I have seen no indication of a glut of OP materials. There are no offers in the trade forum for "OP mat to trade for xxx sup mats", or even "q250 rubbarn jeweler's tool for sale, make offer."
Making the mats substantially less common would possibly increase PvP opportunities, but I think the most likely result would be even stronger alliances because the mats would become even more of a reward than they are now.
OP battles haven't been guild v. guild for as long as I have played, and I don't think that's going to change.
In short, this is a horrid idea. I'd be more inclined to support the numbers limitations (and that's a pretty horrible idea, too.)
IMHO, YMMV, etc.
