A suggestion for Specializations

[Snugglebutt]

The way I want specializations to work is unique recipes to specialists not available to non-specialists. I want them to release and expand those specialist recipes on offer to players through content updates over time. I want people to require helping each other whom specialize in different classes even if to the detriment of omni-crafting. The specialist skills should be adequate but also not cross classed in my opinion.

I dont think this is good idea.

They should instead increase the difficulty of future recipes and make the specialization skills effective and valuable to craft HQ of these recipe. That would give specialized crafters only an ADVANTAGE over those without but doesn't prohibit non-specialized crafters to achieve HQ with help of a good RNG and end-game gear (which should not be difficult to get across all class).

Essentially making specializations nothing more then slight advantage. If you think of it from a lore standpoint, If i were a goldsmith that took the time to specialize in my craft, I should not only know how to make items better then any non-specialist, but also be able to craft items that non-specialists woudn't be accustomed to. Does this threaten the well-being of the omni-crafter? Yes. And i believe it's a necessity. It will prevent the constantly downward motion of the markets after each patch, and will allow certain people on each server to make a name for themselves as the go-to "Armorerer" or "Carpenter". Specializations should have specialized crafts.
