Hmm... I think it's intended. Deconstructing stolen items gave material and inspration like all other loot.
So it was very easy to rack up stacks of material and inspiration by easy stealing stuff.
That was nerfed 2 or 3 patches ago. Stolen items give like 1 material back when deconstructing.
Not sure about inspiration rates, but I think they are also near zero.
Now when it comes to intricate items, those give a ton of crafter xp. Still it's easy to get when you
can steal a hundred of weapons in a few minutes. So you get only level 50 intricate to keep
the inspiration gains lower.
On the other hand, ZO$ is not known for thinking things to an end, so it could just be a bug...
