If someone wants to play only a healer, or a tank he/she cannot make as much money as a combined digger and crafter.
To be fair though, that isn't something new or a result of the merge. When I first started playing, I just did hunting to get mats/dapper. My dapper level was never particularly high. Then I started digging and crafting and became a millionaire.
I remember a conversation with Doc (when he came back after one of his spells out of the game) that went something like this:
Neela: yeah I've been doing a fair bit of digging lately.
Doc: cool, so you got the dig bug
Neela: yep, more dapper too lol
Doc: so how much you got these days?
Neela (nonchalently): oh about 50 million
Doc: @#&$*%£ hell
Voted Other because I like Bitty's idea about making prices fame related.

You can't "complete" the mainland. If one thinks one has seen or done everything there, one is kidding oneself. But be prepared to "get out what you put in," because the mainland does not coddle or hold hands.

Other games - they give you a cookie whether you succeed or not, in fact you don't even have to participate. Ryzom takes your cookie, eats it in front of you, and slaps you 2 or 3 times for bringing a cookie in the first place.
