Gathering locked by main scenario
I liked to lvlup my craft and gathering classes to craft my own equipment before leveling my combat classses and advancing in main scenario.
that's what I did in 2.x, because it was possible, and that was awesome !
But what happened to the gathering in heavensward ? There are 51-55 ingredients in the farest areas. To get there, you have to use a flying mount, in order to access a zone only unlocked with a flying mount !
The said flying mount is unlocked only with main story.
And, just to be sure to make things worse, you have to move even further in main story to be able to fly in areas.
You, Square-Enix, were proud to separate craft and story, and you were right, and it was great so far. Why the contrary now ?
I have to exp my combat classes, to progress in main scenario, in order to progress in my craft classes, in order to craft my equi... wait no, there's no point now.
Fix : move gathering point to first zones, or untie the flying feature from main scenario (better).
