Gathering resources will now gather the entire resource without multiple clicks.  This is just inviting bots into the game.  Sure you have tied spawns and you have to get some before the one will respawn but you should oviousely know people are going to have more than one account especially if they are botting, so they just set one up at one spawn and the other at the tied one and there botting made easy. 

 

Added a craft all button.  Sure this is good but again making it easier to bot because now you don’t have to be there to restart the crafting it just does it all for you.

 

Fishing bait now gives experience increase.  This seems like a good place to go into what is wrong with crafting.  Lets use prospecting and foraging as an example.  In prospecting you have two stages which each give good experience.  In foraging there is only one stage.  This should mean that you get more experience for foraging right?  No it does not my current ranks for foraging and prospecting are 19 and 18.  With prospecting copper, the material that I should not be able to level off of any more.  I get 9 exp for each mining attempt, and I don’t remember the exact but its ether 20 or 21 exp for making it into bars.  This means the prospecting process that gives no exp still gives 30. For foraging the rank 8 stuff at rank 19 you get 16 exp per attempt.  I forgot to mention that you don’t only mine copper you have to mine coal as well so it’s another 9 exp making it 39 for copper.  This is a huge difference.  For foraging stuff at rank so the 16 stuff I get 45 per attempt this is only 15 exp more than the rank 1 prospecting gives at rank 18.  I don’t know the exp for bronze but I’m sure just mining it is some were close to 30 then making it into bars is over 75. This means that to have the same leveling rate foraging should be getting about 100-125 exp per gather instead of 45.  Also you can get anywhere from 1-4 of the item when gathering it so why do you get exp for the attempt not per the number you get say 45 per item with foraging then if you get two its 90 three would be 135 this would be a good way to balance it out but then you still have the problem of people saying prospecting should be the same way and then it would be unbalanced again because this is saying prospecting stays exp per attempt not per item.  That’s enough comparing the gathering skills to each other let’s do gathering to crafting now.  Let’s use leatherworking and skinning this time.  The amount of leathers you got for skinning to level 30 is only enough to get you to rank 21 leatherworking. This should not be happening if you gather all the leathers yourself at the rank that you are then you should have your crafting level up at the same rate as the gathering you are currently using to supply for it.

Bots know how to multi-click. That's pretty fundamental to a bot. So making single click gathering helps the live players, not the bots. Saves us wear and tear on the mouse, not to mention alleviating "repetitive strain" on the hand. And funny thing about that -- you can repetitively mouse click with no apparent symptoms in your teens and twenties. Then later in life guess what pops up? It is like sport wear and tear that you think are no big deal when you are young and then later in life --  they're back out of nowhere! So yeah -- this is a good idea.

Nezmeth, no offense intended, but, there is nice feature called search and you may also do it manually. As most of what you talk is already discussed in multiple threads/topics, so just post in those existing ones instead.

 

Imagine if we all posted these same questions? There would be hundreds of topics like these.

 

Secondly, this isn't aimed at just you, because many do this here: Wall of text.
 

 
A piece of writing that does not use proper grammar and generally looks like a giant essay with 20 to 400 sentences without using paragraphs or any bit of spacing at all.

Its hard and painful to read + it makes your point drown in to the text too. ;P

Again, no offense, but your point would get through better. :)
