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.
