I lol'd at that. I agree that farming 11 hrs a week wasn't their aim. If gatherers did maybe 150 scrips worth of favors a week (~30 mins of gathering each day) and sold the mats on the market board they could gear up their gatherer at a fairly steady pace while still providing anywhere from 45-60 of these materials, or 2-3 turn-ins worth, to other crafters. They could also use the mats themselves to make the Off hand, which is arguably a better first upgrade than the main hand because it is a more efficient stat gain than any of the scrip gear, not including the additional stats from melding.
