I too have crafters and gatherers alike, but in order to get to that level, you need to pretty much make gathering a full time occupation. The scrip gathering on miner/botanist is a terrible system, and don't even get me started on folklore. If you're one of those rare people defending the red scrips, then you have masochist written all over you.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned. I play to have fun. When it ceases to be fun, I cease to play along. What used to be a reasonably casual pastime is now the sole domain of the hardcore, requiring many hours of dedicated play just to get to a level where you can craft what ultimately amounts to glamor-wear. It's not like any of the stuff we can make is of any practical use.
