One thing that it seemed that they were trying to go for, outside some of the new content, is that while the Player Character is something of a prodigy with being able to pick up so many skills it wasn't particularly atypical of an adventurer—the kinds of people that dabble in everything.
However, it still seemed to make it quite clear that even though you're a prodigy, your superiors are just that—superior. One of the first guilds I joined was the Goldsmiths' and there are no less than two quests where Serendipity steps in to finish work beyond your level. Even the level 50 GSM quest where Serendipity declares you to be among the ranks of master goldsmiths? She chastises you for your actions in the quest and begs that next time, you leave it up to the professionals.
