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.
