Although, as always, this is subject to change. Jay acknowledged the fact that they know players want to "show off" their artisans. But it may just take the form of "yes, I have a lvl 5 blacksmith, need anything?" type of situation.
Yeah, he did mention that it's something they tossed around and decided to not allow for now. He did say however, that if the public response pointed otherwise, it was something they could easily turn on. Though i'm sure we'll have to wait for Beta to give that kind of feedback.
