Honestly, Shadok, you have to be blind. Because the statement was made that skill gain should be a bit easier so that they can see some gain, any gain, for the thousands they'd spend and the hours and hours of macroing, doesn't mean everything is fine. Maybe on your end where your transfered skills come into play, or the people you know who make and get all this money.
From crafting for 3 hours I've managed to make about 20k at most from mining and crafting daggers. Great. I've gained .2 in smithy and 15 in mining. They're not exactly proportionate if you ask me.
Want a crafting compromise? Smithy gain is faster, mining skills is dumbed down and the rares that are mined are lessened even more. That'll put some value on higher rated armors and keep the skills more closely related in terms of gains. There's nothing worse than GM mining and only 70 smithy. I mean, come on.
It's like with bowcrafting. All I have to do is log. The items I make and sell are easy to make but they cost a few more resources. It's a fair compromise.
I make more money bowcrafting than I do smithing.
