Could you be more insulting, yes i said, ive gathered for hours, days, weeks... im given a list by friends, fc, sometimes that list may take me a few hours, sometimes a few days, once in a while a week or more... Ive been gathering for a year... im not some noob. You say no one needs/wants HQ and its my own fault for wasting my gil and time getting the best equipment for gathering HQ? Have you looked at your own MB, people are buying HQ, hell if youve done the Job Quest, its forced into your brain.. HQ this, HQ that, give me HQ.. Instead of just insulting me, youve insulted everyone thats ever used HQ mats to make HQ items, because HQ (that the game created to be used) is a crutch.. sorry not everyone can afford to be perfect and have no trouble with NQ mats. Yes i agree, there is a learning curve that people will have to learn to deal with, but have you ever tried to HQ an item with the given quest armors? Which by the way some will be stuck with doing because guess what, the mat industry isnt the only thing driving prices up.. Its typical supply/demand even with the crafting... We as a people set our own prices.. You cant tell me youve never had to use HQ mats to HQ something crafted, no one is that perfect unless you started the game with max armors, tools, melds.. So dont give me that crap that HQ is a total crutch. Oh ive never experiance changes in an MMO? Ive played them all, you assume I am just some whining noob, ive seen changes, mostly buffing or debuffing a Damage, mage, or tank. Ive never seen a game basically obliterate an industry. https://www.siliconera.com/yoshi-p-w...e-as-possible/ either this person miss quoted him and he needs to sue them, or theres two sides to this argument, one being the Inventory.. the other being this, to dumb down gathering, to jam up the MB with mats and reduce prices, to make it easier to aquire said mats.. You say ill still have my income? Not when theres so much NQ on the market that it all drops to 1g, wont be worth gathering, so i will just stick with my friends and family in the FC and gather for myself and them. You seem to have answers for everything, Thank you for your input. Im not perfect, i dont think anyone is or could be, but i have a right to feel angry about this situation, because it does effect how i play the game. I know you keep harping, you can live without HQ mats, we all will have to learn to live with it, just dont go around assuming that some one venting their thoughts knows nothing.
