Everyone for some reason seems to be stuck on parlay as the only option for crafters to be involved in the storyline/quests... When the much simpler solution is to make them pseudo battle classes.
Honestly, I'd rather they make support jobs with the DoW/DoM instead of the craft/gather classes. Leave the battle to the battle classes (with the incoming jobs) and the crafting/gathering to the crafters/gatherers. Why complicate things with allowing DoL/DoH to participate in battle and be as efficient in battle as the battle class?
