But not both. Mining would be run by idiots if the yield caps were removed. Instead of coming home from Halatali with 3 million gil worth of gold for 2 hours of work, all the RMT and people with timespamming tendencies would have glutted the market so much that the gold's only worth 450k. It becomes an arms race of who can stay out there the longest. Production triples. Prices drop 40%. You have to mine 40% longer. Production goes up by 40%. Prices drop again. You have to mine longer. Production goes up. Prices drop. You have to mine longer. The endpoint is that gathering is run by minimum wage kids and sweatshop RMT.

All so Reika can get cheap metal. Right? I mean that's really why you want the cap removed. You're a crafter.

Get out of my guild. Remove the double SP nerf from gathering and leave it alone.
Yes obviously in your world bots roam free without any risk of being banned. Your argument and anyone elses that wants the limits to stay consists of "I don't want competition that can play longer than me" and also only have it as a side job to purely make money, get used to a free market.
