whats the point of crafting...

[Starplayer]

I personally just want to see some sort of crafting mastery system implemented that forces players to, for the highest tier of crafts, only be able to do one profession.

Because currently, on my server, the players who have all crafting professions maxed have absolutely invalidated the markets and competition. There needs to be some forced interaction between crafters to make the community and markets actually function.

I really like this idea. It's the best of both worlds - it falls in line with the 'be everything' mantra of the armory system while at the same time giving crafters the uniqueness that they so desire. I'm tired of the same person in our FC being asked to do anything related to craft because he has EVERYTHING leveled. I feel anonymous in my craft, even in my FC because I only have 2 crafts maxed out.
