Specialist System in 3.0

[JonBigwood]

I am just guessing. I think specialisation may be related to FC crafting. FC will be able to craft airships, and different parts will have to be made by different crafters, and one player won't be able to have all the crafters leveled up high enough to make all the parts.

The goal would be make people co-operate with each other, and join a real FC with other players (and not a FC with just himself and his alts, to take advantage of the chest and be able to pass things from one alt to another.) Maybe I am completetly mistaken, though.

Of all the speculations I have read in this thread, this sounds most plausible. I'm not so sure about the finer details you speculated on (like the restriction being level-based), but I think you are on to something with the big picture idea that the main point is to require more than one person to craft a FC airship.

In that case, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the airship items are below level 50 so casual crafters can make them, but some kind of restriction (similar to gloves for Ixali) prevents one person from making all of them. Restrictions like this wouldn't stop a guy with a FC full of alts from doing it, but quite frankly, nothing can stop that person short of restricting everyone to one character (which will not happen).
