A one-time even can still be abused. There are a lot of unforeseen consequences to anything that involves something as basic as a mass reallocation of player levels, even if it seems simple and inconsequential to you.

It's not arbitrary.

Their stated goals is to increase the class uniqueness of the battle classes, not the crafting classes.

It does not make any logical sense at all. Weavers make gear made out of cloth that they weave and sew. Leatherworkers make gear out of leather that they tan and cure. Armorers make gear out of metal that they smelt and refine.

First of all, they wouldn't do anything that stupid, nor do they plan to. Second of all, given the hypothetical case that they did do something as drastic as merging TAN and WVR into ARM, then some sort or reallocation would be necessary.

However, the THM changes as laid out so far are neither illogical, nor are they unfair. They follow the plan that was laid out months in advance. Therefore, you (in my opinion) are not justified in asking for a level reassignment since it would also be a big waste of time for very little benefit that would "fix" a non-existent problem.
