World mobs, world exper from gathering, they don't scale. It has always been like this and I have been complaining about it since 2010 and SE has been ignoring me since 2010. If even 15% of the population on a server gets 50 in all 3 Gathering classes and puts their surplus materials on the market board, every player in FF14 will have enough stuff to level all the crafts. There would be enough dark steel to make 50 sets of HQ armor for every character, every class that uses it, in the game. All because they don't want us to OW grind.
