Lifeskillers should go on strike and not list any made goods on the market until PA stops screwing us over. With the ongoing issues with Margoria, and the slaps in the face from PA, we should just withhold our goods from the market. The following list of grievances towards lifeskillers:

• Magoria fishing is broken 
• cast times have been increased everywhere since July 7th update,
• removal of sailing dailies,
• nerf on harvestable trees for logs,
• buggy UI for ship/wagon building that results in cancelled projects and no refunds or compensation given back,
• removal of trade missions that gave seals to get magic tools,
• adding magic tools back to the new seals earned only from Imperial Trade instead of normal trade,
• the broken sea monster hunting,
• no drops from Margoria phantom ships,
• no rare drops from sea monsters, (This is confirmed in the game. A member got one off a small goldmont battleship. Drop rate is still really low)
• reduced proc rates on Hedgehogs,
• the combining of byproducts from cooking and alchemy and reducing the procc rates and the values of said byproducts,
• locking Book of Life's behind packs instead of individual purchases like other books,
• incredibly low drop rates of underwater gathering,
• Processing proc rates have decreased.  More single results that multiples.
• Market caps on materials that have over 10k pre orders.
• No life skill xp boost with hot time events.
• Underwater gathering impossible to perform without pearl shop outfit.

These are just a few off the top of my head. Feel free to add more in the comments and I will add them to this list. 

Bottom line, the repeated comments from the discord and the live streams, stating that Margoria was released so late was that it would make Lifeskillers "too powerful" so the answer from PA was to release a broken and nerfed version to continue to hold us back. We cannot make a decent amount from fishing like we are supposed to. The sea monster hunting is nerfed and negatively impacts guild funds. It is apparent the direction PA continues to have and opinions against lifeskilling. So, I propose that we withhold our goods from the player market and force others to get into lifeskilling and learn just how messed up it truly is. We are just frustrated and are asking for the restrictions levied against us be fixed and removed.

You can agree or disagree but if you don't lifeskill, you do not feel our frustrations.

I agree with everything that has been said. Margoria release was an huge let down: fishing there is honestly a waste of time and the underwater gathering is locked behind a pearl shop costume (without the fish costume or the shark one you just can't do this properly). In the GM Note "[Updated] Sail into the Great Ocean!" dated 06.10.2020 it was written "...Also, you can easily fill up your inventory with pricy yellow-graded fish...": this is not true because it seems that yellow-grade fishes aren't that easily obtainable at all in the ocean even if we equip the Mediah Fishing Road and the Maple Float. I know that has been said other times, but if we add to all that  and said the fact that in the past we had an huge cut of monsters in farming zones (leaving some of them severely nerfed) everything is requiring more and more time for be achieved. What's the point of the ocean, ships, so many life skill activities and such a big world if in the end the best income can be generated in Aakman and Hystria by grinding monsters? 

Fixed

They really hate lifeskillers, that came across to me during that heidel ball when the lead dev or whatever was talking about how he wanted to keep grinders on top of the heap in money making.

Why is this? Do grinders put in more effort? Not that I can tell, because I grind all the time in aakman, at miru etc and it's braindead. Hit skill, hit skill, hit skill, run a little bit, hit skill, hit skill, hit skill and ad infinitum.

It's bad enough with all those listed issues, but I've become ever more irate lately at the amount of dummy resources too. It's like, 5 out of ever 7 trees are dummys you can't gather from, as an example. Same issue underwater. Never mind that logs and rocks have been capped in price forever... They can shove off with the shark outfit too. I'm sick of giving them money for over priced items.

I'm currently sitting on 3k cron meals now, and not 1 will see the market until the price is worth the effort that goes into them, likely when I'm up to 30k

Yep. Our guild has close to 20k Cron Meals made and not one is being listed. 

Premature farm reset. My bf farm reset prematurely he missed one day and ot was gone.

I have had 2 Frigate builds Just cancel one at over 700 mats and last one over 2000 

with just the lost Jade ingots is over a bil not counting all the other stuff and getting Coconuts is a Joke

Glad to see all this post carried over.

Well here is the thing with expansions, they are technically free but they always Include cash shop items or something to help you in the expansion.  Dreighan not being expensive but kamasylvia has a lot of gear (the game has gear) and costumes and horses and boats that makes you want to spend money!
