Gathering Chain, and GP

[IlstarRavenwing]

I disagree with this, if you could chain from one node to the next it would definitely unbalance the progression at this point. Even if they reduced the amount of time you had to chain with subsequent chains, much like fighting, I believe it would still be unfair. I personally am happy with the progression at this point. At the rate I'm seeing level 50 jobs after only a week and a half I'm glad there are systems in place to keep the pace down a bit for those of us who can't log 40+ into a game every week. Just my 2 cents.

Gathering is already 10x slower than crafting to level. Gathering needs a boost somewheres. With a scroll, and the best gear I can get a 32 it still took me 50 minutes to get 75% to 33. I don't mind a grind, but this is pretty mind numbing, and if I didn't need carpentry for white mage I'd never do it.
