Man... this is laughable, 25k saburra takes what, some 15mn to mine? Oh my god the grind... you basically getting 1 SP per minute and you're complaining of grind. You're funny man.
If you get a donley you don't even have to make trips to town to make 25k saburra.

Once you get your Gathering up to 100, sure, maybe. I've counted and it was more like 50k, actually. Now I'm up to 48 and gathered maybe 100k. Basic extraction is the first tier skill for an Extractor.
Considering the price of books and the
need for them, even 1s a minute isn't that great.
Again, though, you completely miss the point. I'm not complaining that MY grind is the worst thing in the world. I'm not complaining that MOs grind is the worst grind of any game. Mine isn't and it isn't. I'm complaining that game developers feel like they need to incorporate more grind to make their games last longer. Again, it took less time to get extraction up in beta. It still took time. It still wasn't a cake-walk. It was still just as complex. So why increase the time it takes to do it? The ONLY reason is to make the game last longer before your players hit end-game (which shouldn't really happen in a sandbox but does). It should not happen. Players get bored even of good games, but the argument still works.
