Amazing. I REALLY like, the fact that now people that have the dedication that is required for WORK, will now be rewarded for that dedication while not being crowded by people looking for something easy to benefit them mechanics wise. This new system will weed out the Chaff right off the bat and leave a core of dedicated crafters that will add Piles of depth to the unique RP of the server.
Losing the buffs does not make the Task unsurmountable. It makes it Work, instead of a Hand Out. Besides let's get down to the simple ROOT, of 90% of fantasy. The Guy that had a REAL job, became an Adventurer, because the Real JOB, was a JOB. Tedious, Tiresome, Annoying, Difficult. You don't want to dedicate yourself to crafting, go gather, go adventure.
Current system Rocks. Nothing worthwhile, is ever given, it's Earned.
