I think you are partially right and partially wrong.  I think the quested items being no-trade is an attempt to satisfy the high-end gamers.  Some of them are a little upset that the "week-end warrior" can have the same gear that they do.  They play all the time and for some reason they want to turn EQ2 into a pretty version of EQ1.  "Hey everybody, look at me, I have no life and play constantly!  I am better than you, just check my gear" /emote pose in a femine manner.  You are right in that this change will give the tradeskillers a bigger share of the market.  But if you compare the quested items to TS'd items, in most cases the quested gear is much better.  That is why I think the die-hard grinders want this change to happen.  That way they have better gear and stats than people that do not live in a make believe bubble.  After all some of us work and have a life.
