As im sitting here at work thinking about this game that once again has become so addictive to me. I think I've come up with a great solution to this problem. Being that im 99% sure I am the only gm miner on the shard atm, I believe that the skill gain in mining should be dropped. It took me roughly 120 hours to gm mining(hence I have no life and my wife bitches at me on a consistent basis) I feel that this should be dropped by 40-45%. Leave the crafts alone but if you change this more people will mine for there goods and the people who actually invest the time to do Blacksmithing can charge fees if a person supplys the ingots needed to make a armor or a craftable weapon. This will promote more trade, more pvping, and in the long run make the economy very good and stable. Which I know shade this is one of your biggest concerns.
