Lately the forum talk has been about helping the shard.
As a new player i find that most skills are very easy to train.(warrior and polymage progressing very nicely)
The only skills i found deathly slow were fishing and blacksmithy. As for BS , well ,mine, and find a friend to make you stuff if you don't want to put the effort forth to train BS.
But as for fishing gains i've fished for hours , got 1 gain and gave up and made a new character.
I understand the economy aspect of hard fishing gains , however if anything fishing being a little easier would help the economy because there are next to no stat fish available. No fish ,cant make money selling them...
Also would help new players make some money and get into the game better or make more stat/fff available for the new players so they can better chase after higher level dungeons and PVP
This is the only thing i can think of as a new player that would really help me progress , and possibly get older player back(due to higher population possibly even more PVP)

An other weird thing i've found is when i look to see who is on before i log in, its usually no one. However after I do 1-4 players log in as well. So don't just sit there and wait for people to show up ! Be the first one there so other people log in too!

There is a crafting patch part two coming out soon witch should fix that.
