Take SP out of Gathering

[zaviermhigo]

Well you can't take away sp from gathering or crafting because they are their own classes and disciples. If you took sp out of crafting/gathering, you'd would either A) have to take sp away from DoW/DoM classes, or B) scrap the idea of crafting/gathering being its own class, going back to xi and every other mmo on the market.

Crafting makes sense to have some kind of XP system involved. Crafting should be the Ultimate Grind if there is any. Even harder then it is now. (My thread is not about Crafting at all. Gathering only)

Gathering on the other hand feels really weird. I mean Gathering plants and cutting wood, fishing is something everyone living in a Medieval world would automatically know and be really good at even before you took control of your Avatar.
Or they would be Dead even before you took control of them.

Gathering should be what helps new players as the simple thing a starting player can do to grow himself financialy to compete in a economies with players that been around for over 3 years. First thing out of the gate's You pick your First gathering skill and off you go to gather something the game tips you off on could make you a little dough to buy your first weapon and Armour set. Some thing to always fall to when times get tuff and the money is not flowing in. Not the Elite thing like it is now.

Gathering in this game is exclusive to the Most Hard Core cause no one wants to do it. The thing the most people do in RL and NPC in the game do to feed there family is the most exclusive thing only a tiny hand full even bother to do. Its the Bread and butter of survival. See how it makes absolutely no sense at all. Resource should be Flooding the market.

Its crafted goods that need to be rare and valued.
It just dosent feel like a real breathing world. It makes no sense to 90 % of the MMo Comunity. How can you live and play in a game that makes no sense.
