Crafters/Gatherers also don't seem to get any benefit from FATEs or things like that for experience (I was very disappointed ) I'm not sure about making them HAVE to fight, but I don't like that they're encouraged not to be not getting these rewards....

On that note... Having Gathering Monsters would actually be really interesting... They could be like B rank Hunts except for Gatherers and they would be an interesting new mechanic that could be like the Unspoiled Nodes except that they wouldn't be limited to a particular TIME and instead to being FOUND and you'd have to have a high level of Gathering rank in order to get the rewards off them, and it'd be even more cool if they had special abilities to deal with them released for DoL 50-60 <3
