I have two things to state.

Crafting/Gathering have become such a chore and deep investment that it's easy to make insane amounts of money due to the shallow pool of players who can even scratch the surface of high end crafting let alone the elite few who have the gear to make the top tier stuff.

It's a shame that it's such a chore because it's turned alot of people off of the whole concept to begin with.

I mean like...I enjoy being able to make 50k for walking to a folklore node and smacking it a few times but I really wish they could spice gathering up somehow. Fishing is fine for what it is but Botany/mining are a practicum of boredom. I know this may turn more people off from it due to it possibly requiring more effort than waiting for GP to return but I'd like for it to be somehow more involved than it currently is.
