Well...I just read from post 1 to 259. I must say there are only few persons that makes sense in this entire thread. Peregrine is the only one that really understands basic economics and supply and demand. I suggest you ALL go back and re-read this thread...or at least his posts. Its utterly insane to remove gathering fatigue and would ultimately destroy the economy. I don't know how many explanations you need, that is given in previous posts. The people that say remove that cap is just plain not educated enough on the concept of how supply and demand and the basics of an economy and market.
The only other cries I saw was about DOL skillpoints. Personally I don't use DOL but sure I can see some people taking DOL as a main class or full time (I see it more as a support class). No problem with that. I do not see a reason why there would be a nerf on DOL SP. Would like to hear a dev's explanation for this one.
As for fishing...yes this I think definitely needs to be re-looked at. Looks like handful of people enjoyed the Goblin Bounty Hunters from XI. I thought it was a great idea and enjoyed watching the bots get killed too! Gave me a feeling of hahah take that botters! and also was reassuring to know that SE and dev's are doing what they can to battle RMT.
Had to look it up, here is a classic video of fish bots from FFXI getting killed by a banshee (not a goblin but still justice is served!)

Also all you people think that RMT countermeasures are here to STOP RMT for good. That is not why there are here...they are in play because it deters such activities. I don't think any game would be able to stop RMT completely. But for most games...SE is one that takes a serious look into RMT and will act accordingly and implement ways to battle it. You should be grateful that SE is doing such a thing. Look at these other games, you have people shouting all day on the main world chat.
For real...if your hitting those caps, take a break dude. You play too much =D Maybe when more in-game content is released and we have more things to do people won't be so hardcore on the gathering and synth and will be able to do other activities instead of just one or two.
