Would this be a good idea.

[MistakeNot]

With the crafting revamp coming up wouldn't it be nice to condense 11 classes into two? Artisan and collector. Artisan levels to 80 via crafting and can make anything you can buy, and maybe a few nifty things you can't, like a golem pet or a doll like from 9. Artisan can specilise into one of six master crafters, or jobs.

That last sentence is where you lost my support. Specialization is bad. The whole class and job system of FFXIV is built around the assumption that you can do everything on a single character.
