Does ESO need crafting orders?

[Accidental double post - please ignore]
With the new crafting quests coming in Update 5 I ask myself why they haven't implemented player crafting orders. I wonder how the community feels about this.
Background (copied from another post):
The gist of it is the following example: I need a VR11 shield, breton style, infused, tempered to purple and of Ashen Grip variety. That's a very specific request. With a crafting order system, I could put this order up at a local npc, another player could take the order, craft the thing and then send it to me for the advertised price.
There are a few things to consider, especially that the same order will not be crafted by two players, but there are solutions to all issues.
Crafting orders are necessary, because the (wonderful) variations ESO's crafting system offers make the current system that involves a crafter crafting an item beforehand and then posting it on the guild store non-viable. Nobody will craft a legendary khajit chest armor with impenetrable trait of the Ashen Grip variety to put it up on the guild store in hopes that some other player may want exactly that combination. That might work with a global AH, but not with ESO's fragmented economy. And no player that invests in legendary or even epic gear will make any kind of compromise in terms of trait or style.
