Ashes "Gathering" that will kill Alpha

would be better if they spawned way more often but only give 1 resource for small noe and 2 for large running around for hours and finding a single node kinda sucks hard not to mention 99% of the resources you harvest is pointless cause it below blue quality and mobs drop blue gear fairly easily -.-

The idea we are testing "the economy" in Phase2 is a curious one, if you consider: state of gathering, static named mob spawn locations and timers, town nodes which fail to progress, caravans literally printing money, resources disappearing from storage and player retention issues. I would also add to this the power gap fuelled by Casino Enchanting.

I'm not a fan of current gameplay loops, too much of that stuff is simply not fun, unless you like camping static locations with a watch in your hand.

I agree that the gathering system currently is not in a great state. The timer campers are indeed to easy to farm high rarity mats. Also, i feel carpentry is out of whack cause of the scarcity of tier 2 and tier 3 trees.

There are clear issues with some hunting materials also, which due to the crafting being highly dependable on multiple sources of materials and processed goods results in massive bottlenecks. If someone asked me to shortly describe crafting experience atm, whatever talking about storage, gathering, processing or actual crafting, player market, then the first word which comes to my mind is: frustration.
