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? Is there any doubt a smith would try to start a production arms race in the mining community so they can get cheap metal?

You're no gatherer. Get out of my guild before I have the twins throw you out! Next time they'd like to know how a smith thinks mining should be fixed, I'll tell them where your guild is. Better yet, I'll tell them myself.

Don't tread on gatherers. Crafters need to get out of this topic. Remove the double SP nerf from gathering and leave it alone.
You my friend, are retarded.
