Please do explain how accuracy as a stat enhances the experience of this game. Or any MMO for that matter.
Look man - I don't remember the last time I upgraded gear or spent put in any effort on my botanist, and all I need is some NQ Dhalmel food and I can do it. 3.0 released like 8 months ago, I have some of the 150 gear melded gear, a red scrip main hand, and bought the offhand...although they now just released a scrip equivalent. My miner is close enough that if I wanted something with it, its just an upgrade or two away. Regardless, it's been 7 months where you could have casually got your gatherer up to speed to be ready for whats next. You didn't? Ok. But where is personal accountability in all of this? Instead of complaining why not thing "Oh man, maybe I should have, at somepoint over the last 7 months gotten my gatherers up. well I didn't so now I should so that I can more easily cap my healer acc for the new content." Done. Why is the reaction to come and complain on a forum about 3.2 healer accuracy instead of fixing your gatherer up, waiting a week and spending some gil...whatever the myriad of options you have available to you - and getting the ACC you need. You could have had gatherer reqs for 6-7 months. If you don't - that's YOUR fault. So be it, no big deal. But don't...complain...fix it. This is an MMO, time investment in your character leads to better charter performance...as it should. If you ever get to a point where you feel like your character progress is slowed or hindered, you always should look at what you can do first. If the game has given you the tools the developer has done their part. And when there isn't a solution (like AST at 3.0 release) make a case.

In general, I don't like the accuracy stat. Sadly, I am not a paid developer of this game. I play it, I don't make it. And since there is accuracy...and now you can meld it onto gear with ease, I don't see the point in complaining about it. The game has enough problems that you literally can't alleviate in game that this just seems like an bad poor use of complaining time.
