Love the responses so far. Adding my own two cents to the crafter/gatherer skips. While it has been expedited...it is honestly still boring. I grind for my gear already and I do so for all my combat classes, crafting is a bit more tolerable than gathering as far as boredom goes but it is still boring. I only want to get my crafting up for, as my friends will sometimes say, the shinies that crafters can make (Things like the Seeing Horde weapons and interesting furniture). Don't really care about making Gil, and making enough Gil to afford everything is rather hard when a single one of these items can run into the millions. That is my reason for crafters at least...for Gatherers it is literally the boredom involved.
