I understand where you're coming from but to make money in a MMO is the same as making money in the real world you have to know how to navigate the market. Even if everyone started the game with level 50 miners it would still require the same amount of work to gather the materials. Honestly, in terms of gathering the best most reliable money is always going to be in crystals because their needed by every crafter for every craft they do. The other thing is you have to know how much the market can handle if you go out and havest 12 stacks of darksteel ore thinking you're gonna make a killing you're wrong. You're just going to flood the market and drive the price down.
