Add histograph for Crafting Materials (Discussion)

I'd like to see some king of statistics on the evolution of Crafting Material Prices. So you can see average pricing and peaks on the items without having to do a "Request Quote" for each item manually.

Approaches

1. Make the history of all buy/sell price updates per x minutes publicly available
2. Add an external request code that sends a certain buy/sell price from up to x minutes ago. (So external programs and sites could keep the history)
3. Add some kind of histogram on the website - similar to what's been done to PvP and Challenge Missions
4. Add some kind of histogram available in-game

Why this is a good idea

• Makes it a lot easier for advanced material traders to buy/sell their goods.
• Gives all players a good feeling of average pricing.

Why it may not work

• Too heavy on the servers.
• This could influence the market too much.
