This is inaccurate in the context of many areas. Region-wide commodities (created or gathered) are the exception.
Correct. I’m well-aware of the gathering issues as well.
I refuted this one already.
I think you may be misunderstanding the entire point of this thread. This thread was to oppose a very specific thing: a thread made in the Community Council forum that requested the ability to mail items cross-realm to alts. The rants/accusations you’re making about my views on gathering profession are not only inaccurate, but completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
