    I'd prefer just a straight out info dump such as you have xxx/250 gathering attempts remaining. Why not make it transparent. It isn't like this impacts RMT with their army of mules to pick up where the fatigued left off. Legit players have the right to know if they are wasting their time.

    This idea is even better! Good thinking.

    I disagree with this approach. When I go out and do manual labor IRL, I don't think to myself "Well, I've already pulled out 13 weeds, I will be too tired to pull weeds after 62 more." Instead it's a more gradual "Wow! That sun is hot!", then a "I'm getting a little tired..." which proceeds to a "Man, I could use some lemonade!" and finally to "I'm tired I'll finish this tomorrow."

    Although from a programming point of view there will be numbers associated with these events, I think it provides a more realistic and enjoyable feel to not have the number directly in your face.

    While I think of it, the number of total mining/logging/fishing attempts could be related to an attribute like vitality...or something related to patience for fishing.
