Sounds like the Synergy Synth in FFXI, that was an interesting concept but a bit of a nightmare. Also splits profits, I knew people who leveled a craft mule and dual-boxed to activate the other crafts abilities so they could do it solo.

Well if they are your friend maybe you do that for them, or you say your busy and they talk to. More people lol. That's the point. Building relationships with multiple people, past just the static ls and fc and such. Build an actual talking interacting community
But again like I said, it was a (probably bad) idea. XD
in other words you would rather have the easy 1-50 button where you do little to nothing and get capped then punish everyone else willing to put in more time and effort you are. sounds like this is an idea that's more about being selfish than it is actually taking care of an issue you act like you care about. if you were worried about handling the issue you would realize your idea makes many more issues than it solves.
Yeah, reset the servers and apply this please make FFXIV 3.0 (I'm kidding ok? ) it is a good bad idea xD
So basically, you want WoW? Cos only getting 2 slots for Craft/Gather Professions works oh so terribly well at making people social over there.
All it does it force a reliance on either making alts with professions to support your main, or spend hours and hours and hours in Trade waiting for someone of the appropriate Profession to come along and do what you need.
Personally, i don't Craft or Gather. I have friends who do both. I have friends who love both. Just because we *can* do a thing does not mean we *have* to do a thing. Arbitrary and frankly stupid restrictions would just frustrate people.
Spamming a trade chat, is not social, you don't make friends this way with WTB x or WTS x. It may stimulate the economy but it has never and will never make things more social or create a community.
