Every basic material that forms a pillar of the crafting collection should be gathered in the real world, not reliant on roundabout loot methods.
Totally agree.
ppl come on! learn to play a game how it is, instead of trying to change it all the time. Cloth/leather can be grinded on humanoids etc..only in the form of salvaging instead of getting it right away. Thtas the mechanic of GW in total so live with it, this aint no another standard MMO like the rest out there.
Maybe, but the whole design philosophy behind GW2 was to get rid of grinding and encourage more casual play. I think this is definitely an issue that ArenaNet should investigate if they want to remain true to that goal.
