Yo Gracie, and Fellow Aetolians!

I have read yer post, and thought about it for quite some time. I think
there are a few factors that you have failed to take into consideration.

During your days as a Druid, I do not doubt that you transed your own
and other's skills, bought numerous shops (which were no doubt sold for
much cheaper than today's market prices) and artifacts and made many
selfless donations.

But your days of as a Druid were many decades ago now, Gracie. You know
as well as I do, that there has been a dramnatic population increase in
Sapience. There are many other concoctionists to compete with these
days. I agree with your statement that - If one is too lazy to work at
it, one can never make any money. Alsas I do not think it fair to
compare your experiences from prior years, to the situation at hand.

The last point that you made, I read and digested, and it was this
comment that persuaded my post. The comment I would like to touch on is
the one you made in reference to the Rogue Forestials of Sapience, which
supply you with your bulk herbs. If I may quote:

But it goes to show who actually does any work around here.

I realise that this -must- be a careless mistake on your behalf, Gracie.
For in using the term work can imply many things. I am sure that in
using the term "Work" you were implying harvesting, which is the work of
a tradesperson.

As a dedicated Woman to my guild, and of the Forest, I feel it necessary
to point out and clarify to any persons that were mis-informed, that
harvesting is -not- an aspect of a Druid's work, it is the option of a
tradesperson. Forestial Guild members such as Druids' and Sentinels'
"Work" partially includes routine tasks such as tirelessly by patrolling
the forest, caring for overharvested plants, replanting barren rooms,
and researching the many abnormalities and mysteries that have been
apparent in the wilderness of late.
As a former Druidess and Guildmistress, I am sure you realize this,
Gracie.

Finally, I'd like to take this moment to point out that I am in no way,
accusing rogue Druids/Sentinels of any wrong doings. In my experience
many of them have dedicated themselves and cared for nature as much as a
guild member can.


Follow Your Perfect Hope,

Druidess Saige O'Lyryus-Kemestar
