you completely contradict yourself in these two paragraphs

if you buy the iron you still have to earn the money to buy it without afk gathering your gonna have to EARN the cash

if afk gathering is allowed everyone that can make a script can and will gm every craft skill for free that means without spending money or working
do you know what happens to a economy if no one spends money?=bad
few are going to chop enough logs manually to gm bowcraft there gonna hunt instead and the ppl with the patience to chop are going to make money and gm lumberjack the hunter will gm archery and bowcraft then buy more logs to make some elvens and recieve the fruits of there labor

do you know what happens to a economy when noone spends money?

We have the Gump and the rule now.... and no one is spending money. So what is your point?!?!
I am simply trying to get money into the economy so it can be spent!

Afk resourcing is not going to change the fact that it takes 500k iron to GM Blacksmithing. That is what stops people from being GM Smiths, NOT The fact there is a GUMP. People are going to GM a skill if they want too, not cause there is a rule against it. Once people get magery and can hunt... why waste your time mining.

I didn't work that hard for it... i BSed and looted... make a good 5-10k for every 15 mins.
I mean 700k gold for 100k iron is going to be way easier to come by... then me sitting and mining the whole 100k. Hell of alot easier!
I bought a keep alrdy.... how many miners that are selling there iron sold 100k worth to buy themselves a keep?
You are going to have some people afk to GM bs.... but you are still going to have people who don't want to bother with the skill cause it takes damn 500k iron.
