Judging by how long it will take to gear up 1 job in esoteric gear, even more so multiple jobs since none of the gear is shared and will take up massive space, I'm getting a strong feeling that SE is trying to get us to specialize. Which I am not fond of since I like being skilled at, informed about, experienced with, and practiced at every job.

Maybe this "encouragement" to specialize is just SE's way of saying "Sorry, no more space for you! Can't spare the resources!"

Who knows. Disappointing in any case if we don't get more space.
