This question was made from Chronos to Escalante:
"So far it's possible to join one crafting school and one adv school, then you can swap from one to another freely and keep doing so with time. My question is: how to prevent people to become Master of al skills? i mean is there a skill cap to prevent Hardcore gamers to monopolize the whole game becoming too strong in any skill?"

And here is the answer from Escalante:
There are no hard-coded skill caps, but players will find it temporarily difficult to progress a skill if they have successfully overcome all of the challenges available in the game for that particular skill. That is when they might try one of the many other Schools. If they have the ability to play constantly (as a percentage of every game seems to have) then they could theoretically advance quite far in each School (of course they'd need to enter all of the Prestige Schools as well). Prior to them mastering all sets of skills, it is most likely that we will have added new challenges for everyone during the time they are concentrating on any particular skill. As for them monopolizing anything, that seems to be a concept from last generation games. A highly skilled player, or a group of highly skilled players are rewarded for their accomplishments, but they cannot prevent others from participating in all of the many activities and challenges that are in Horizons.
