A 4th gather?

[Bsrking5]

The combat drops give players who don't gather or craft an additional way to make some gil.

I don't see SE changing that because there's really no need to.

Everything they've said since about the farms seems to make them related to minions. There's been no indication they will be a source of crafting materials.

It wouldn't stop them. Plus open world mob grinding isnt that interesting. Like I could see a point if it was about fate bosses drops or anything self contained in fates. Or hunts. Just seems like the ability to have them isnt that far off.

Some players enjoy open world mob grinding (I'm not one of them, though).

Add in a gathering profession that collects the same items directly, and you depress the market even further if both are an option.

SE could do it but there is no reason to when every player has already free access to gather the items (assuming they have MSQ access to enter the appropriate zone).

It doesn't hurt to have to buy some of the things you need from other players on occasion. What else is gil for?
