There are now pages and pages of 1k+ DPS weapons on the AH. I bought a reduced level requirement weapon before the patch and it would've been on the top three pages for level 50 but now it's on page 33! I'll get what I paid for it, if I'm lucky.
Yeah, 1k dps is the new 900 dps.
Increased drop rates only make even more items have less value.
Crafting my friends. Its not hard to craft a 1k dps one hander these days.

and all anyone is making are gosh damn swords!
Not reliably. I have tried many avenues with this, but unless you are willing to drop 20-30 Mil in mats you will more than likely not see a big return. The counter to that is that if you do manage to craft a weapon that is 1k dps AND has some marketable stats you can easily break even or perhaps make a few. But again, this is RNG so you could hit some nice rolls on the first craft or be like me and make about 50 6 prop wands to only find 4-5 to sell for a few hundred K each. I lost several Million to RNG trying this out.
The other avenue you could try that I have been tinkering with is 4-5 prop weapons. Much less expensive to craft and potentially the same return.

Weapon crafting seems so risky. I don't really wanna try it even though I have the recipies. :(
