Crafting Guild: Suggestion

I think it would add a lot to the game to have Crafting Guilds. What I envision as a crafting guild is this.

Crafting Guild.
In every crafting zone there should be a Crafting Guild poster. The Poster would be the interface for your Craft Guild. The Craft guild would exist in addition to your regular 5 guilds and not accessible through the bank.

How it works.
When you open up the Craft Guild interface from a crafting station poster you will have two options. One option would allow you to request an item and the other option would allow you to search for a request to fulfill.

Requesting an Item.

If you need an item crafted then go into the Craft Guild interface and build the item you want crafted. You will be able to select level, style, trait and improvement level. Then you enter the amount you want to pay for it and that amount will be taken from your gold and reserved until the order is canceled, completed or expired. Your request is then listed within the interface for others to fulfill.

Fulfilling orders.

If you want to make some money from your crafting expertise then access the Craft Guild interface and search the listings for items you can create. You can sort by price or ability to craft. Once you find a request you want to fulfill, craft the item and drag it into the order. Only exact matches to the order will be accepted. Your item will be mailed to the person that requested it and the Gold listed for that request will be deposited into your bag.

I think this would have at least 4 positive impacts on the game.

1)
It makes it easier for players to get the gear they need/want. Especially for those who may need several sets like a light/heavy/medium armor set and the corresponding glyphs.

2) Allows players who love to craft to become more involved in that aspect of the game.

3) Allows players to earn money besides farming materials and killing mobs. It creates a "job" system where a player can work for gold, rather than hunt for it.

4) Keeps chat channel free of request spamming.
