Yep.

Gathering in particular is going to be hard to "fix." It's extremely easy to find resources and takes only seconds to gather them. So there's a cooldown, but this means people who bypass the IP check can gather 4x as many materials by switching characters. People who play legit have to gather in a "staccato" fashion, forty-five minutes of each hour spent waiting for the cooldown. Their only choice is between gathering only every once in a while, in which case it takes forever just to make an hour's worth of ammo, or go AFK/browse the Internet/etc. while they wait for the cooldown.

I guess it's necessary, otherwise miners would get ganked or stolen from 100% of the time rather than 5-10% of the time, but it sure is boring and annoying.

It gives medics unique responsibilities and playstyle.

Makes the doctor skill less of a turd.

Makes the doctor profession worth investing in and actually related to healing.

agreed but isnt it a little unfair that gathering flowers has the bigest cooldown? they could reduce it to make it the same level as the other stuff, otherwise it only hurts doc profession
