Artisan Archive

I'll keep it short and sweet and allow the flamers and knit pickers to do the rest.... and I apologize if somebody already posted this idea and I was too lazy to look for it.

Here isan idea I had about addressing two issuesof theArtisan/Crafting profession, the excess surveying experience that we get after reaching Surveying IV, and the rampant macro sampling.

What I propose is a tradeoff of losing the benefit ofmacro sampling while gaining something else more useful.

Change or Add the following Features:

- As a Surveyor's skills go up, the time between sampling should go up. For example Surveying I could have a10 second delay, Surveying IV could have a 25 second delay.

- Add a Master Surveyor option that can make use of all the excess surveying experience but has a longer deley between samples.

- And to BALENCE all this, give Master Surveyors the ability to survey at very large distances, like 500 or 1000 meters. When the Elite professions reach close to Master Status, they should have a Master Surveyor ability to compliment them, so then can survey the terrain with much more efficiency.

I think it would a fair trade off to give up macro sampling (due to longer delay times between sampling)if the Elite Artisan professions could survey the terrain at much large ranges to save time when resource shifts occur.

I know there are lots of details that could be filled in here,so please tear this apart as needed, I think this could really work if the Devs crunch the numbers to make everything balenced.
