they could place the order and the crafters, when they come into the guild and check for orders, see someone wants the robe and who that person is. the npc could set the price it charges and set a price it'll pay the crafters to make the item. the crafters would gather the materials and make the item and turn it into the npc in the guild and a message would go to the person that ordered the item.

they could make it to where the crafters got guild marks or materials for the completion of the order as well as the fee for making the item. it seems like it would be an incentive for crafters to help others as well as a way for people to make friends that do craft.
What you are proposing is a player-operated leve system.

This sounds like a very good idea (b'.')b

When I first began to read your post I was thinking you were going to suggest a 'craft finder' tool to the option menu.

As it turned out what I was thinking you were thinking and what you were actually thinking were quite different, and your idea is far better. Also I'd end up spending hoooouuuurs hanging around at the weavers guild just making and handing over the needs of the many.

This also means that crafters would be seen as a more beneficial part of the game, as you wouldn't be forced to only be able to buy the things they choose to create and sell, you could dictate the thing you want and I'm sure crafters would be only too happy to go along with it for the means of gaining gil, xp and guild marks.
