With the new white items that have 0 value, deconstruction can really be a waste of time. For a max level crafter, we don't need inspiration, we need materials. IMO every deconstruction of an item should return something that was used to make it. There should never be a time when doing this, that you get nothing in return. I'm not talking about items that have inspiration bonuses to them, I'm talking about all items with no bonus or worth at all.
If this will continue to be the case,
@ZOS should update the drop to be based off your crafting level so if you are already level 50, you do not get these crappy items as drops taking up inventory and wasting your time deconstructing them to try and get materials.
