Considering a lot of the problems in the game now, this is a complete non-issue.
Double Resources does not equate to Double the volume for sale. Players automatically assume that. For instance, x player spends 2 hours farming to get 50 columbine to make their nightly potions. Well now X player spends 60 minutes farming their potions and now had 60 extra minutes of gaming time to do something else. Double does not mean everyone goes ahead and spend their normal time farming.
This, and also material mainly comes from writs, surveys and hirelings, all are not affected by event. People who actually gather in the wild are very few and what they gather is just a drop in the ocean. As we know many players religiously refuse to spend any time gathering their own material, and some would rather spend three hours writing essay on forums about how much they don't like sourcing their own stuff, than spend that time gathering even with double drops on.
We have these resource events all the time and they never had an effect anyone could measure.

Everyone who played during the Zenithar event should have got a good stock of all of these. I seemed to have recieved around 20 of most of the rare ones.
I normally keep these for some Master Writs that call for unusual styles. As I'm not doing writs anymore, I sold them on.
Eventually, these items will creep up in value, once those stocks get used used up.

Twenty of each is a very small number tbh, when any purple furnishing using these mats requires two of them!
I have several hundred of each from Anniversary event, can't remember getting many at all from Zenithar but even several hundred can be burnt through fast when doing a certain style themed build!!
This is a direct killing of the economy of the game, which is already in a very bad state, prices for everything continue to fall rapidly and prices do not have time to return to the usual state as there is another event for resources. Maybe it's time for to come up with interesting events and not events that will finally kill the economy of the game?
It is very disappointing that the ZOS are not trying to do anything about the falling economy.
