Among my many complaints about HW crafting and gathering, this is the top one for me by a huge margin. I don't want to have to run dungeons just to be able to fish! I LOVE fishing, and I pretty much HATE dungeons. I've had the Library sat in my journal for weeks now and simply don't want to run it (even with friends who have offered).

In ARR I had all crafts and gathers at 50, in their original AF gear, before I'd even beaten Garuda storyline (it was my nemesis at the time). Being gated behind storyline to do the things I enjoy has killed the game for me. I'm going to be taking a break when my sub runs out in a few weeks, and not sure I will resub. I also will probably not bother with future expansions if they are likely to follow a similar pattern.
