The stupidity of people is really starting to baffle me!

Youre gathering? GREAT!!! Guess whos buying your stuff? Crafters!!!

You know how crafters make their money? They sell their crafted gear, using your mats, to the battle classes!

Know how the battle classes afford their gear? They use their nest egg that they built up by leveling to 50! Once that's gone, nothing! They'll be forced to level a gathering class in order to make money!

What happens once they are gathering? You lose your market because they are selling to crafters!

What happens then? They level crafts! Uh oh there goes the crafting market!

Yay everyone is self sustainable now and no one makes money! Oh wait, we cant afford repairs because we're broke!
