People still want to be blacksmiths? I regret picking it up in BC now...

One piece of evidence?

There's no mention of any additional RP element of being an armorsmith or a weaponsmith in this article. A choice that determined what you were bringing to the trade channel in BC has been reduced to nothing in Wrath. It was leet and ballsy to be an armorsmith in BC, where, up until mid-late T5 content, has some of the best chestpieces in the game. Weaponsmiths could make a wide variety of BoP weapons and had to branch off into other specializations just to make them. A master hammersmith could instantly show people by their weapon, "Damn, that guy worked his butt off to max out his skill, craft a lower-ilevel-epic, and then upgrade it to Deep Thunder".

A little pet peeve I have as well: Why can't we craft RP, white items that had the look of, say, the armor the IF guards wear? And why can't tailors or leatherworkers do the same?

I actually think this is an outstanding idea. Make something fairly cheap and white quality that is only meant for showing off.
