(from previous)
I get that there's a small core of players that have played Ryzom for quite some time and through all of its economic troubles. I get that. I think it's great. But from a new player's standpoint, there's about a month or so's worth of entertainment here once crafting is taken out of the equation, and even THEN there's a finite limit because there's so few items that can be harvested without killing mobs, and those mobs aren't getting harvested by anyone MY size anytime soon. So I'm relegated to digging, and I've already gone through as much digging as I'd like to knowing that I can't use the mats I get for anything other than Fyros stuff.
Sorry, gang, but the game's simply not interesting enough from a crafting standpoint to sit there and learn all the different races' crafting patterns, and even if I did - what's the point? I'm still digging the same mats to get the same stuff. There's no unique reward for a Fyros learning Matis or Tryker or Zoraii patterns...(continued)
