So Specialist Recipees are in the game.

Low supply doesn't necessarily mean high demand. I mean in you own post for example the 2 star crafting gear is in both low supply and low demand cause of tomes armor.

Also omni crafters rely on gatherers so yes they do buy off people all the time. It may not be on the market board but they do buy from people myself included. If this is one of the main arguments on omni crafter there is your answer there.

Also is I'm interpreting in your post that specialist will help the economy buy having people needing specialists only mats? You that would hurt the economy(buyers mostly) right? Because the crafters' cosy to make has skyrocketed from being unable to cut cost and he has to turn a profit so 0rices will go up.

And the FFXI crafting was good for 2 big reasons:

1. Can have multiple alts on one account like this game but unlike this game you can trade between with waaaaaay less hassle.

2. The main reason why the economy was good on there for crafter compared to here was there were no welfare armor (tomes gear) on that game. So their was no handout on gear so the server as a whole had to work in that economy. Those crafting changes in 3.2 are really for min/maxer cause you best believe there will be more tomes gear.
