I.E. A cooper across the continent from him will not suddenly feel moved to come make barrels for him.
Actually yes that is what will happen. If the pattern figures Rand needs barrel makers than barrel makers will be provided.
You are vastly OVER estimating the effect of the pattern on those that are superfluous to its purpose.
In TGS common people were picking up and moving out preparing because the pattern needed them to.("there's a storm comming," )
TSG prologue
There will be no superfluous individuals. From the prologue of TGS
Renald frowned "How do you know that there will be an army? Thulin, burn me, I'm no soldier!"
Thulin continued as if he hadn't heard the comments. "With a polearm you can pull somebody off of a horse and stab them. And, as I think about it, maybe you can take the third best and make yourself a couple of swords."
"What do I know about making a sword? Or about using a sword, for that matter? "
"You can learn, " Thulin said, turning north, " Everyone will be needed, Renald. Everyone.
All good things come to those who wait.
