Honest question here guys - what are they used for in these large quantities?
I farm them in the thousands every week, put them on the CX and they sell like hot cakes - what is going on? Is there something I'm missing? We were talking about this in my guild the other day and nobody has a clue.

			Counted 8 there - but I sell thousands, nobody hoards that much for the next patch. They gotta be used somewhere else - NOW.

			Don't forget that if you wanna craft any of the (pre)raid bis gear for heavies you need 1k+ chunks just for 1 good slotted item with the special you want. and thats just 1 item and you need a complete set

If I had to bet on something, more likely that there's an smattering of recipes that sell back to vendor for a decent amount of profit, and these guys are buying raw materials at price points that still allow them to generate revenue. Either hoarding their plat or using it to fuel private gold sales.
 
Another option is raiders needing consumables and these guys are their guild buyers to keep their crafters flush with mats.  But to me, that only explains bloodbriar, octopod, heartichokes and mourningstar, plus Choice Meat (that nobody advertises for). 
 
Some point to the upcoming patch but these guys have been buying mats in bulk WAY before Drop 3 and the crafting changes were on the table.  So my money still goes back to exploiting profitable recipes until Carbine gets around to running a simple database query to find them, then drop their vendor sale price to less than the cost of materials.

Keep in mind that when people craft armor and weapons, they don`t just craft it once. I crafted most of my armor at least 50 times and some of it close or higher than 100 in order to get the rune slots I wanted. Furthermore, people continue to do that to sell well runed items for profit.
 
Even with the rune slot patch coming soon, crafted items with 4 or 5 rune slots will still retain some value, as you won`t be able to get that amount of rune slots on crafted items post patch.
