why force the novice>apprentice>journeyman ect tools?

I understand the certifications. That way it takes utilizing a group of skills to make something. And, at top tier no one can do more than a couple things so its a real player economy.

What i do not understand is forcing players to upgrade their tools before they can even start. its already bottlenecked by the certifications, so where is the logic in forcing players to have a Master axe if they already have the certification? they have the skill, they have the cert, so what if they want to use an apprentice axe to cut a tree?

Thanks

    It makes sense... I only way I could see them making it so you don't need the appropriate tool is if it took significantly longer to harvest said resource with the wrong level of tool, multiplied by the degree of variance from the appropriate level. This way if you were to compete with someone who did the work to get their tool, they would finish harvesting it faster than the person who didn't.

    ^ absolutely of course the higher lvl tools would be better, that just makes sense. I am not understanding the logic in forcing the tools is what im saying ^^

    because you can get the certification even if the buildings don't exist. Maybe this is the part that needs to change though. You shouldn't be able to certify if there's no place to do the job.
