Yes, you can have multiple specs on one character just like you can be max rank in multiple GCs with one character. In other words, not at the same time, with a substantial time delay when switching. Want to craft something on your own that requires five specialities to complete? Sure, you can, but it'll take 1-3 months (assuming GC-like delay - it may only take a few weeks). Whereas another omnicrafter with four alts will be able to do it immediately by themselves.

Crafting with other people is fine when working together to make things for free (for friends and such), but compare crafting by yourself with crafting with four other people. One way makes five times the money as the other, and can afford to undercut the group-crafters substantially.

It'll probably not be as drastic as what I'm saying, but it seriously killed all the hype for me. I already switched from pre-ordering the CE to pre-ordering the Standard Edition.

The dumbest part, to me, is that endgame crafters will still need to be level 50 in every craft to do endgame crafting (due to needing the cross-class skills), even though they can only craft endgame items with a single crafter class (at a time). So, for a system that's supposed to help new crafters feel less intimidated by crafting, their idea could really use some work.
