Well it's not supposed to be easy to switch specializations.. what would be the point then?
You're on the biggest server in the game; you seriously won't have a hard time finding someone to help you. Find a person who has completely different specializations that you do. Offer to help each other.
Do you really not want to play with other people? Maybe not play an MMO then...?
And
it's not about the "principle of the thing". You still ARE able to be every crafter, just not the best at everything. It's the same as battle classes, whoever made that comparison was spot on.
So Specialist Recipees are in the game.

As an old mastercrafter and currently midcore, i find this very much needed.
Not only gives the specialization system a reason to exist, it kills omnicrafting which is just ok in my book if the specialization recipees are purely cosmetic/vanity stuff. As the moment, what we saw in the patchnotes was a chandelier, glamour item. As long as its reserved to that, specialization exclusive recipees are in fact, a plus for the crafting system. -

why is it a bad idea? self sufficient is a BAD BAD thing, you need to spend what you get, to get more gil, thats how economy works.
i really hate people who do anything by themself, yes this come from a player who have 8 active retainer to sells anything, and have 8 crafter and 3 gatherer at level 60.
doing crafting and gathering all by yourself is wasting your time too, i only doing that by my self if the price of material is skyrocketing because stupid MB reseller. other than that i always buy all of my material from MB and always try not gather all the mats my self, so gatherer or battle class only player can get their gil. -

You get three specializations for free.
Three of them.
Why are you people playing an MMO if you refuse to deal with other people even indirectly through the market board? -

I became self sufficient due to 1.0 when so many ppl quit I had to be to get any crafting done. I got used to it and liked being able to do my own melding, crafting, gathering etc. I miss being self sufficient. I do ask others when I'm lacking the time to do things myself like making raid food, for example, but I'd like to go back to being self sufficient like I once was.
