Sorry Talk, I just don't like the idea. You keep saying it and saying it, but I don't like it either. If somebody feels they can't 'Dig' those sup. mats, then learn how. Even I have and I'm not that good. It takes time, but little by little you post the info on your flags where the mats are, and the season, and if necessary, time of day. Then, you check BM site for when they pop, you watch the weather on BM site and learn which season it pops according to their chart on the season/months page.

It actually makes the game fun to learn these things imo. It is kind of like learning where the safe routes are through aggro. It is a game that is fun to learn the intracasies of.

I don't beleive in making the game easy by being able to 'Buy' any mat you want. If you did that, it would have to be SUPER SUPER expensive to compare with forgoing the knowledge of learning to do it yourself, plus time expended to the point you would want to just learn to do it and then go do it! This is Ryzom for crying out loud. I love this game because lots of things are very hard.

If you need help getting a mat, let me know, i will team up with you to fight the pr bosses, or invite you to come dig in PR. Its not that hard. It is actually fun.

it's ok nae, i'm greatful for the offer (another of many).

it's just an old dead horse i always drag around, i know it'll never happen, and that's ok.

believe it or not i agree that learning is fun, and exciting, but we're a select few that like to inflict mass pain on ourselves. i just like to keep the fact that not everyone does, and that steam is going to be lot's more that want both options, the "quick and easy" and the "slow and steady". i also like to voice ideas that are 100% fair to all parties, eg a merchant. (another option would be to inflate the numbers of mat's in a location from the small handfuls they are, to amounts that would really offer a fair chance to everyone. the right few get to the spot, 10 minutes later there's nothing left for 16 days of "refill" time. i can understand they want a "special feel" but with such low numbers it goes beyond special into the realm of "why bother trying" (arfur's story is one i've heard many times over the years.)

anyway, getting off topic, so i'll let it go.

talk
