Yet again with "it doesn't fix everything, it must be a worthless idea." Personally, I don't have a problem with it not fixing everything, because the change does fix the biggest problem, reward for effort. Being able to level several times faster by T5 processing than by doing the actual work the class is centered around is a violation of this concept. The point isn't to take away the processing XP, it's to get rid of a shortcut.
You took the exact same short cut. If it's so enjoyable and rewarding why did you not take the path that would lead your personally to greater entelechy? Why now after you have powergamed is there a problem with other people doing the same as you have in the past?
Will you only feel actualized and rewared by having taken a shortcut and then forcing others to grind mindlessly to reach your level? Thats what it sounds like, you're not adding anyting enjoyable to the game thats for sure.
Even with this change, a level 100 blacksmith can level jeweler faster than someone that's just a jeweler, because they can gather ore/gems faster and smelt more efficiently. I don't have a problem with that, as it's reasonable reward for effort.

So why now force this change onto others. It's not fun, it does not enhance game play in any way and diminishes my legitimate enjoyment of the game.
As I pointed out before, assumption on your part. I did blacksmith and outfitter the hard way, blacksmith was never more than 40 levels ahead of outfitter. I did jeweler just to have someplace to put the XP. So no, I'm not yanking up the ladder after I've gone up it.
