Thank You

[KuroganeAre]

I just want to say thank you.

To all the people that pissed and moaned for omni crafters to be put to an end. You still need to level up every crafter and gatherer to be proficient in one craft, regardless of that specializing nonsense. Omni crafters will still be in effect and now it has just been made more complicated for new crafters to get started.

Thanks for your input.

I am pretty sure you can switch specializations with the use of scripts so was it really a big worry that omni crafters would no longer exist?

crafting in this game needs a little bit of an overhaul...you shouldn't need every class to be good at one craft...period. They need to make each craft self sufficient within their own craft.

Ironically, that was their goal with the specializations. The reality is that the skills given by specializing aren't all that great and you're likely better off just cross-classing skills and sticking to older tried-and-tested rotations.

As of yet, I'm not aware of any recipes which can only be obtained through specializing though I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong on that matter. It all begs the question, what was the real point?

Specialization seems like a horrible idea to me anyway, since you never know which item slots will end up under which professions when it is time to upgrade. Sometimes a class's chest slot comes from leatherworking, but then the next one comes from weaving. Shoes, belts, and hats all bounce around between professions, and even various weapons sometimes come from a class you wouldn't expect. I still remember all of the 2.0 carpenters that were surprised they needed to be alchemists to do the WHM relic weapon.

This is why I still haven't been able to decide on what I want to specialize in, despite knowing which ITEMS I want to specialize in. If you want to lock players into specific categories, lock your items into specific categories first.

All I know is that I will never have the time to level up all of those crating and gathering classes. So, I will never bother with the high end of crafting in this game.

I should have to gather a bunch of crap to make one item out of 5 ingredients for one blacksmith craft.
