    Like it or not, that is the practical effect of forcing specialization upon people.

    You say that our markets are currently total crap. Specialization won't change that in the medium to long term. Short term, it might. But not medium or long term, after people get those alts created.

    The one thing that hinders alt creation in this game is the lack of easy, reliable item transfers from main to alt and back.

    She's not one of a kind, many people complaining about the specialization are probably in the same boat with her.

    Which will just lead to individual FCs whose only purpose is to house alts for item transfers between them and people will communicate via linkshells instead.

    Think I'm talking about something too extreme? maybe, but it will be done by quite a few people

    I know people that do this already. However, if certain mats or components were untradeable and required let's say a "Request Craft" option to the crafter then a single person wouldn't be able to do this unless they had two independent subscriptions so that they could multibox. This is speculation, but I've honestly wondered why a "Request Craft" wasn't implemented so that Coil could drop BoP materials that could be used for making raid tier crafted gear. It lets crafters make relevant gear while also forcing people to experience end game content to get the best gear.
