Re: Why was the gathering grind increased?

the whole point is to make it a little less easy so that the people who do take the time to harvest can actually sell their mats for a good price because its not something everyone can do right next to bank in safe zone.
Problem is mobs will drop shit ton of mats.
If mobs don't drop shit ton of mats, with this rate of harvesting the economy will fail. Simply fail. Number of pro harvesters are overrated, there won't be as many of them, and as the game is heading with advertizement, we will need all players who try the game out to stay.
Graphics, need to harvest, hard to understand character controls, what else will we have to scare new players off? Player mounts still can be stolen, lol, the amount of griefing incoming...

However, you have to take into account why we are introducing local banking.
In New Dawn, its main purpose is to be a convenience feature.
