Frankly there are not enough people on the server in any specific realm that you will have enough people specializing in enough variety of armor pieces to put together very many suits past QL120 or so.
I seriously doubt the situtation will improve either. My guess is eventually people will start wearing mixed race armors and mixed stat armors because of this. It takes a huge amount of materials just to get through a single branch of the third tier crafting skills. I think someone estimated somewhere in the tens of thousands range. Heavy armor has 6 of those branches to go through past skill level 100. Thats pretty nuts.
If there were more people crafting in the game, I'm not sure this would be an issue... as it stands right now the situtation for people who stick with the game is going to get fairly desperate a couple months out from now.
