Why no speculation on Jobs for crafting classes?

Someone needs to be able to repair that gear

Well I'm in favour of making all repairs 100% from NPC's, I think the current repair system is a joke.

It's a bit sadistic to expect people to level to 50 in a craft just to repair items, as I already mentioned the majority of good gear will come from NM's and dungeons now.

i cant agree with the last part of this at all
i make a fortune selling my non NM gear still, sales havent slowed at all

I don't think the crafting classes are getting specialized jobs

Certainly not with Patch 1.18 ... I agree with that. There are currently bigger fish to fry.

But once (if) this game stops stuttering along the bottom and finally gets off the ground, there in no reason the Development Team can't introduce Disciple of Hand Jobs in the future ... say 2012 ... at the same time GW2 comes out.

I didn't say there wouldn't be a market for it.

Also lets not forget there is barely any content in this game, we have 20 rank 30 NMs and the rank 50 stuff is craftable anyway.

You can't comapre now to what its going to be like in a years time, unless of course they add more craftable NM drops, I guess we will see.

How will dungeon loot effect crafters, how will JSA gear effect crafters ?

It seems that Yoshida doesn't have the same image as Tanaka did at least as crafting importance goes.

Crafters really don't have any trouble with class uniqueness, there's not really a need to specialize further especially with the training books as they already are. It would just mean more unnecessary menu navigation/job switching every time you wanted to make something different.

Exactly, in fact i would go as far as to say that the doh/dol classes are the only ones in the game that fit the definition.

Now later down the line there might be some hard decisions to be made with them, but for right now there is simply no reason to speculate.

I like the repair system it is pretty easy to figure out. I repaired a peice of gear and had no issue. The point of gathering and craftying classes was to flesh out the community. Where instead of the basic mmo archtypes
fighter rogue etc etc. They gave us 4 community archtypes fighter caster gather crafter. Each having a role in the community. Not a bad idea considering it IS an rpg.

Actually, I remember back when Tanaka was in charge, in one of the interviews he was asked if those were all of the crafting classes. He said those were all of them, the reason why he introduced all of them in the beginning was to establish an economy.

I still have my fingers crossed for a Chemist job.

You mean like DoW/M? Wasn't that a class in Final Fantasy Tactics or am I thinking of the wrong game?
