The hell was square thinking with mining/botanist.

[KisaiTenshi]

We had a minigame/ QTE in 1.0. People complained and they took it out. Now you just... select your item.

V1's was super slow, it would take 5 minutes to mine one node, and everything you got was RNG. All V2 needs to "fix" this is to shuffle the positions into quantities (eg if you have a higher rank DoL you either get 1xitem at 100% or 2xitem at 60% or something)

Instead of making Miner and Botanist even more pointless by making it super easy to level you guys should have focused more on making crafting and gathering classes worth a damn at endgame instead of borderline useless.

I'll agree that crafting seems to be completely pointless since everyone can just buy non-HQ gear from NPC's. How about making the NPC's actually "buy" the items from retainers for the best price passed along to the player when an item is bought from a NPC?
