Community name "Gathering Fatigue"

[Peregrine]

Currently RMT don't gather at all because of this feature. They use lowbie battlecrafts and bots to haul low-level shards that they can sell constantly. Way more money than gathering offers. I really would actually like to see battlecrafters get the same farming nerf, and Tanaka actually said that there fighting in the same location for a long time would engage anti-monopoly measures.

That might have been a mis-worded translation and he may have been referring to NM raging, but it sounded like field fatigue for battlers where drop rates slide to 0.

Eh, I think it's gonna have to stay as annoying as it is.

Sorry they do in fact use this mechanic. Some will gather until fatigue hits and then move onto a battle class and farm that way, then swap back to gathering later, then back to battle. I have literally seen RMT characters do this. Others will farm right through it not caring. Others will bot fish and then bot alch the fish into shards.

Point in fact, RMT uses every method available to make their money. This hurts legitimate players more than it stops RMT. This hidden fatigue method is like trying to stop a tank with a wet ream of paper. Its just not getting the job done.
