Hunting/Taming

Heya guys, been thinking about our current gathering system when Hunting interactables.
My opinion is, we should separate the hunter skill from these interactables that we currently have and create a new tool, same name (Hunting) with a different source or way of hunting. Since hunting for carcasses doesn't look like hunting, at the moment, it looks more like a petting of a pet in "TAMING". Instead create a new skill(Artisan) called Taming which can use the current interactables we currently have,(which will make more sense since it will look like petting/taming a Pet..
So in short:
-Remove the Hunter(Artisan) from these currently interactable animals (except the Grems, they yield no mount, and another interactible that doesn't)
-Create a new source or way to attain Carcasses.
-Create a New tool for the Hunter (or give them the current hunting bow)
-Create a new Artisan skill named Taming, which can interact WITH the current interactables
-Address the tool required for Taming, possibly a Laso... Rope.

The aim of this is. There's too many crafts depending(compeeting) for the same resource.
You have Tanners, Leatherworkers, Cooks, Animal Husbandry guys making mounts for riders and BoBs, Tailors And Metalsmiths looking for that animal fat.
See the dilemma?...
Anyways, post your thoughts. Respond to this post if you feel the same way or you have another idea.

    just so you know hunting is placeholder system atm, seems they started working on it properly recently since a new protoype hunting bow has appeared on the ashes codex as this weekend.

    Was going to say that the whole system doesnt really make sense to me right now as when hunting you dont really need to find a tame animal. Should be possible to hunt the same creatures we fight for xp. But previous commenter said its a place holder so I guess we wait and see what is coming up next.
