Plus, having to visit a trainer to swap schools, and having cargo armor drop off when you do change schools, makes for a lot of running around which makes it difficult to level efficiently without a bank of storage at your disposal (which new players most likely won't have).
But, these problems have been there since the beginning of the game and I seriously doubt that they will ever change. I don't think biped crafting is "hard" as a result of these items, but it is certainly tedious at times, especially when trying to level multiple schools.
