DoH need major changes just like battle classes

I didn't dislike the idea of locking specialist crafts, but materials like Luminous Fiber, Star Velvet, the base components, never should have been locked. Only the finished pieces.

Locking recipes of any sort accomplished nothing except hurt the mid-tier crafter. Most omni-crafters simply leveled a second or even third character just to get around it, thus the portion of the playerbase SE wanted to halt were the only ones take advantage.

I wanted to make a post like this, they really should abolish the specialist system, it does nothing to curb anything. It just hurts the "mid-tier" as you said, since hard core will make alts. I never liked it, it does not fulfill the goals why it was placed and it is actually hurting the wrong group that it was meant to target. What where they thinking?!!?!?!? It actually does the reverse, it only puts hard core at a GREATER advantage then it would without a spec lock. Then it also hurts the uninformed, those that always ask "what is best to spec in?" How are we supposed to answer when the econ changes hourly because gil is worthless?
