Take SP out of Gathering

[Angstrom]

I'm confused. How are adventurer's guilds communist? I get my own rewards, and get to use them however I want. That's free market.

And keep in mind that Communist and free market economies exist side by side in the real world. So even if Adv Guilds were Communist -- which again, I don't see how they are -- I'm not sure how that's inconsistent with having Market Wards.

Then what is it? a adventuring Union? Where do the Cards come from? Who is paying for everyone to do the same Leve's every 36 houres? why do camps have massive teleport Crystals protected by 2 npc a tent and a knee high fence?
Why can I pick how many stars my leve will be. It just go's on and on.

I know they are hubs. but who owns them? Who the hell made the's Teleport Crystals. Don't you think something as powerfull as that would get stolen out in the middle of nowhere protected by 2 guys in a tent? Don't you think they would have built better living quarters considering there going to be spendin the rest of there life there.

I understand all this stuff is just there to make the game a game.

It's just a bunch of mechanics of a mini game with no reason to belive it has anything to do with a world i'm trying to Imagine myself in.

I think maybe you misunderstand the word "Communist."

"Communist" refers to a system in which there are no private property rights, and goods are distributed by a central authority ("from each according to his means, to each according to his needs.") Do you have a different definition?

Then what is it? a adventuring Union?

No, it's an Adventurer's Guild. The definition of "Guild" is an association of people in the same trade or craft. It's got nothing to do with Communism.

Where do the Cards come from?

The Adv Guild. So what? Newspapers have classified ads for jobs. Does that make all newspapers Communist? It's got nothing to do with property rights. If anything, the fact that you can choose which jobs you do makes it a free market system.

Who is paying for everyone to do the same Leve's every 36 houres?

I honestly don't know. I would imagine it's whoever wants them done. Whether that's private individuals or the Adventurer's Guild or the government, I don't know. But either way, that doesn't make them Communist.

All democratic governments pay individuals and entities to perform certain tasks that they want done. Like the military, or the DMV, or people who build roads. That doesn't make them Communist. The fact that you're paid for performing those tasks makes them not Communist. (If you were required to do them, and you weren't paid for them, that might be more like Communism.)

why do camps have massive teleport Crystals protected by 2 npc a tent and a knee high fence?

Again, no idea. And no idea how teleport crystals make them Communist.

Why can I pick how many stars my leve will be. It just go's on and on.

Huh? Are you suggesting that in a free economy, you won't be able to pick how many stars you'll run your leves at? That makes absolutely no sense to me. If anything, that would be less democratic.

I know they are hubs. but who owns them? Who the hell made the's Teleport Crystals. Don't you think something as powerfull as that would get stolen out in the middle of nowhere protected by 2 guys in a tent?

Well, at least you're veering towards the right track with this one, since you're talking about ownership of property. But I don't know who owns the crystals. Who do you think owns them?

If you don't like to gather, don't gather.
Lord knows the game already suffers a legion of R50 crafters who don't gather a ****ing thing except battle mats.

Glad OP has no control of this game. If you don't like gathering, don't gather. With the exception of gathering fatigue the system is fine.
