Anyone having fun with DOL?

My only thing with WoW gathering is that they have a method to get meat and skins reliably and we do not. One day we shall get it..maybe...

Can get the ShB ones through the fate gemstones though.

We totally have that now. Its the aether bazooka we use in diadem. Quickly reduces an enemy into its base parts. Now to figure out a way to sneak it out while getting it to hold its charge. Machinist side-story quest?

I think FFXIV's gathering (and crafting) is far and away superior to how WoW handles it. If anything gathering and crafting in WoW has gotten worse over the years >_<. Especially crafting. Hopefully Shadowlands will fix some of that.

Liking it in this game myself although fishing... eh.. zzzzz

Ever since I tried them out they have been my highest leveled jobs. I just kind of like them.

Fun? I wouldn't really say I have fun with it. But it does have its uses. This Ishgard Restoration stuff is probably the most use I'll get out of my gatherers aside from collecting my daily treasure map. lol At most I would say that gathering is tolerable, at least for me.

Actually, I find FFXIV gathering to be more efficient than WoW's system, but extremely boring, in that you just circulate between 6 nodes in the same area over and over again. At least in WoW, there was some adventure to it, and the added reward when you came across a rare node. One big issue with WoW was that the nodes disappear a short time after being collected by a player, so the bots could clean out a whole zone unless you could get there before it, or just follow one and gather them before they despawn.

Not having fun at it though. I have more gil than I know what to do with, so the only times I gather now is to make stuff for myself that I don't want to pay MB prices for.
