my 2 cents...
I don't see any need for any changes like that. As was already pointed out, it's already easier for some guilds to train certain skills than others. And folks hafta have hobbies. If my Druid could only do Druid things, it would just be too boring to play.
And I'm not sure anyone ever means to force people to interact. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking we all get to choose how much interaction we have with other players. Some folks are loners by nature, and like to be self-sufficient. Personally, I cringe at the thought of asking anyone for a favor. I avoid it in real life, and I'm darn sure not going to play a game where I have to do something that uncomfortable for me. Any character I ever play will always strive to be as independant as possible, and if this costs me some goodies I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. If you need to feel like there's an incentive for interaction, there it is: the more you network, the more stuff comes your way.
