I thought you made Superior stuff on Sphere (obviously been a while... not completely sure).
But I agree that the sell prices were low. Before I started inscription, I would sell all the scrolls I got from magic creatures, and be able to make several hundred GP (average price probably 18-20 GP, times maybe 20 scrolls). Now, because of all the people training inscription, those prices have dropped to around 4 GP average, so I don't make jack for selling the scrolls I found PKing.
If anything, I think the crafting materials should be made harder to get (specifically, cloth and blank scrolls). If you actually had to craft scrolls with logs and silk, rather than buying them 200 at a time from vendors, the sale price could be normal and it would still be non-profitable to train the skills, but still fair to all the other players.
*edit*
Actually, it SHOULD be profitable to train any combat, provided you get all the resources yourself. If you personally got all the logs yourself, and bought only spider's silk, then you should be able to train inscription for a decent profit. I also think the cotton fields are a bit much.
