If you don't like gathering, don't gather. It's not rocket science. You don't have to enjoy every class in the game. I couldn't stand playing WHM or BRD in FFXI for example, didn't mean SE should have given me auto level 75 so I could have the benefits without having to rank it up. You can't have your cake and eat it.

No one is forcing you to do everything in an MMO, you aren't forced to play every piece of content or even like it. No one plays an MMO because they want to gather items, I highly doubt gathering is the reason the game did poorly at launch. To suggest this is absurd.

Fact is some people like gathering or crafting, some don't. Some people like PUG, some don't. The ones who don't tend not to play the class, not bitch and cry about it not being perfect for them. I don't bitch and cry that PUG can't shoot arrows and demand SE allow them to use bows because that's retarded. I simply don't play the class. I play one that I do like instead.
