SE, We need to talk about Leatherworker ...

Nonsense. I have no idea when I'm going to craft new gear to get my gatherer retainers to 1150 gathering, but I know I'm going to, and I know what mats I'll need to do so, so I've planned ahead without any concept of a "specific period." My retainers are out gathering those mats even as I write this. They are also restocking any mats I use that I am getting low on, even though I may not actually need, say, Kudzu root, any time soon. I might be wasting a few ventures, but I don't care.

Good for you? As previously noted, not everyone has multiple battle retainers nor does this have any impact on whether mob drop rates are exceedingly low. I send mine out constantly too. It's still tedious needing so much of a single base mat.

And now you're just making things up. I made no such accusation.

<Sigh> As if 4.0 didn't dumb down the game enough.

Don't complain that your hunter retainers aren't a class you've leveled yet, that's just poor planning. I had one of four like that (an archer, I main WHM with a side of WAR now), so I reset him to Fisher and re-leveled him.

And after putting L310 scrip gear on my retainers, I'm awash in skins, manes and hairs. And still have four stacks of ventures, the amount of GC seals you get from dungeon drops is insane.

You gave no further context nor did you quote anyone else. Therefore, it's hard not to infer your post in a thread about mob drop rates to be precisely how I responded.

Whether I'm smarter or not, at least I'm not incoherent. You haven't presented a question, so what is there supposed to be a simple answer too, exactly?

Apparently, you are. Good to see that passive aggressiveness hasn't simmered down yet.

You don't see the difference between criticizing a post and insulting the person who posted it?
Sad.

You didn't criticize. You took jabs at the perceived poor planning of other crafts, avoided the very response you were criticized for and immediately cried when someone called you "ignorant" for continuously missing the point. But yes, we're the ones with reading comprehension issues. Sad, indeed.
