We already have 22 jobs that can farm skins/meat/etc. Why would we need another?

I understand you don't like the drop rate but the drop rate is low because the items can drop for every player and not just players that have a specific gathering job. Demand is high right now and that means prices are high but they'll drop a lot later in the expansion.

Feeling that things are too expensive becomes the perfect opportunity to farm yourself then sell what you don't use to others at prices that you feel are fair.
