It's basically giving a "Job" status to the crafting classes, but with the crafting you are limited to obtaining only one of the "Job" statuses. And BloodLotus you have phrased the opening post very well mind you, thank you for that. So honestly I believe this thread is in much need. I'm all for specialization, I wouldn't mind if people who really for whatever reasons don't want to work with other people in a MMO, could remove their "Job" status and obtain another one incurring a fee or time cool down between the switches.
