The hell was square thinking with mining/botanist.

yes true but comparing the potential of fishing vs botany, botany wins so its understandable why there is this gap.

Now there is a problem obviously in the system of both crafting and gathering when you put the economy into the equation,but it doesnt help when you see people complain about it being "hard" when it takes people THREE DAYS to LVL to 50...... In FF11 I was LVL 100 clothcraft and LVL 10 digger I didnt get those in six days....

And yeah this is a different game but understand that a Fieldcraft/Tradecraft is as valueable as time invested.
So when the hotfix comes and EVEN MORE miners and botanist level to 50, have lower expectations, because even though there is a LVL 50 by your name its only equivalent to less than THREE DAYS work.

SE most likely gonna fix, this hopefully with more crafting/gathering specialization, changing or limiting crafting skills or my personal favorite idea... adding another tier above High quality, i think that would change the game.

I'd like to know what you're doing to level so fast, but if that's true then what's wrong with it taking 2.5 days then?
