In fact having to seek out a Specific crafter will prolly work to your benefit because it would give you the opportunity to sell the item to them for a discount and not have to worry about working the markets to get rid of your second hand gear.
you do realize that crafters fixing things is cheaper right? and that when your out grinding or something im pretty sure thats a hell of a lot more handy then going back to a camp...then back to the area you were. Will it be used less? of course...its still WAY quicker because you dont have to go through all the stupid steps of take off gear > bazzar gear > set reward > wait.

Crafters right now have it pretty damn good and loosing 1 thing that for plenty of people likely dont make any profit from if not loosing it sometimes is not suddenly making it that crafters useless. This isnt FFXIV: crafters...thats VERY clear that combat is the prime focus of this MMO. And how often do you and your gear fixer start up a random conversation about buying your stuff? i have never seen it and most people either NPC stuff of toss it on their market ward mules.
