People who have played since launch are obviously in a different position than people who started playing within the last year. Since these days there is little to no use for non-masters (of any profession really), a person is forced to grind to master as fast as possible.

The danger with that is that when you grind a profession you don't learn a profession. While I earned my master the old-fashioned way, I have no beef with folks that grind any prof for whatever reason and by whatever method they do it. That's their choice-but the faster they grind it, the less they know about the trade.

The problem grinders face is that they've bypassed the grind of earning the title, but they've still got the grind of learning the trade. And there is no macro, exploit, or technique that makes that happen overnight.

I can't count the number of posts I've seen here that started, "I'm a new Master Doctor, how do I make....?" I don't have anything against people wanting to grind a profession, but you can grind the skills not the knowledge. There isn't a magic post that will make you feel more like a Doctor than experimenting and trying out certain things for yourself.
