Changes to crafting.

Increasing ease of entry for new players.
Adjustments to more complex systems and actions.
Extra actions will be adjusted/removed.

As for gathering.

Unspoiled nodes will appear without the use of skills. (If i understood correctly.)
Gathering rates and amounts will be adjusted.
Quick gathering will be added.
"Out of reach" is getting removed.

In conclusion they give the finger to dedicated crafters/gatherers.
At least we get new BLU content and the jobs cap is increased to 60.

Oh right, we'll also be able to use food while /siting.
