Awwww come on, you know CLEARLY that they were not referring to the current system as a "specialist" system.. when they said the S word, they know it means something significant. We just have to wait and see what that holds for us, but many of us feel strongly that it will be some sort of lockout.

Most of components are stackable and this makes them more useful for market speculations - this requires 99 times less storage space. So - it will come to the game (.

That sounds good for you, but what about people who specialize in refined mats? (rose gold nuggets, dark steel nuggets, ingots, twinthread, hippo leather etc.)
If they introduce a system which will simply add a chain of distribution along the way, all it'll do is increase the price of finished product.

Now the system is in such a way that you profit from both the cost of the raw materials AND the refining it takes to get the finished product. i.e. when people make accessories for example, they calculate the material cost in terms of gold ore, not rose gold nuggets and add the shard prices etc. that's how some people sell a finished product for less than the price of its components because there's still profit to be made.
Imagine, however; that you were force to buy rose gold nuggets, hard hippo leathers, etc. sure it would circulate a lot more gil around the market, but the finished product will end up costing more.
