Look, I was not posting this as to serve my own agenda. Facts are facts, and that is all that I was responding to. On my server, Selbina, which is one of the highest pop servers on the game, only about 2 people have max mining, botany, and fishing. That is only about 2, out of about 2 thousand. If that is not a problem, or something that does not warrent a comment, I dont know what is. I can see, since you have Rank 42 Botany, that you are willing to spend ours upon ours, and days upon days just to gain one level at the higher ranks due to Soft Cap. I personally, and thousands of others do not have your time or commitment. I also understand your not wanting the current system to change, as it is this current system that probably allows you to make millions selling Mahogany Logs to Carpenters and other crafters that are lacking in the commitment and playtime that you obviously have. Ridding of soft cap would give others equal footing and an opportunity to gather in a more enjoyable and rewarding environment, of course, at a loss of gil to you. And no I did not read the other 27 pages of this post, because just like botany, i obviously lack your commitment and free time to keep tabs on one single topic.
