Stupid crafting/ gathering system

[Carighan]

This gathering and crafting system is moronic. Mats that can only be gathered one at a time at specific times but you need stacks of for crafting recipes blows my mind.

There's a checkbox below the 8 slots that can hold items that you can turn on to automatically gather as much as you can from each node (of that type). This is for Botany and Mining, Fishing is different both in polefishing and in spearfishing and this would not make sense. With polefishing you get double/triple hook as you level up to catch more fish at once, with spearfishing you can time your thrusts to hit 2+ fish at once.

oh and on top of it, we're going to make even more of a pain in the rear for pain in the rear's sake with the endgame crafting being even more moronic. Just because you don't want to be a typical mmo, doesn't make it a good idea to make it a painstaking process for the player. Again so stupid. Wow

What is stupid about endgame crafting? Crafting classes are "full" classes here, so of course they have 20-30 abilities like combat classes do. It's not just a button you press as a side activity, it's something you ... do. Instead of running around healing people as a Scholar, basically.
