Are the devs so disillusioned and so far removed from they game that they actually believe this? No one is getting ores and logs from mining and logging; they come from VW and Abyssea. Logs and ores are junk drops and consolation prizes. A very large majority of these items are dropped, vendored, or simply never taken from boxes.

Sadly, this wasn't the case when Abyssea was released and items such as Jacaranda Log, Orichalcum Ore, and many, many others became junk drops. They flooded the market, lost nearly all of their value, and effectively killed HELM.
