so yes, there are 31 jobs.... but only 22 soul crystals on that tab.

while I would love more plates, I dont see them thinking crafting is in any way important enough to make plates for.
Oh, I was under the impression you could attain additional "Soul" items for the tradeskill jobs, beyond the first three? If not, well... why not? :P

I would sort of agree, tradeskill jobs aren't necessary to have plates, although certainly a nice enough perk! But then, if it's only for the three you've elected as your "main" tradeskills, well I wouldn't consider that a bad idea.
