The biggest problem with the mooncloth is the felcloth.
2x felcloth + 4days = 1 mooncloth
Everytime I go farming for felcloth I'm fighting 5-10 people for the kills. Felcloth has only a 3% drop rate. So its 60-80 kills for a single piece of mooncloth. Factor in the kill tagging issues of so many people hunting the exact same mobs in a zone and it feels like it takes forever (I'm starting to wonder if blacksmithing is easier :P )
This is only going to become a bigger problem as people who really didn't care about the mooncloth tailored items now have a big need to also get felcloth. Felcloth was already a farmer's market w/ heavy camping on the mobs, now it will become truely insane. Also there is a note that the mats of a mooncloth bag (16 slots) will now only require a single piece of mooncloth, further increasing demand (the current 1.9 version of the bag requires so much mooncloth that it is just outragous and doesn't effect the mooncloth market or the 16 slot bag market).
Is mooncloth's timer going to be the limiter to the tier 0.5 epics? Most likely not, since most tailors won't be farming felcloth (what a pain) and will have timers availible for a small fee if you farm the felcloth yourself.
BTW. On Terenas I have two tailors, so every 4 days I'm out killing to get the 4 pieces of felcloth (120-160 kills ......... I'm sooooo bored and tired of it). The drop rate is better in DM-east but I would need to find a group that wants to go there and give me all of the felcloth that drops.
