Cause of the simple fact that return rates even with taxes in the city plots are much better when it comes to crafting? Also i thought you played betas. Didnt you read the patch notes on hector about the journals? But you do you while others do theirs i guess. Thats the magic of albion. People can waste silver on stuff they think its good and others can profit from that.



If I get 22-25 T5 leather for 2.5k I'm good with that. idk what game you play?

you need to take in consideration the funds you spent on getting those resources in the end. After all its time>money. I am not saying its a bad way of making passive money but active income is better than passive income. So lets say you spent around 5-6m to get everything (its less but this is just an example). Now take that 5-6m and do them in another focus. Lets say pve. With 5-6m you have enough silver to get good enough gear to be able to easy grind and get lots of silver. But as i said thats active income and requires active time.Active income Versus Passive income.Usually active is much better because of the fact that you have to play. Passive is just there and providing you on an X amount of time the resources. Active usually requires a smaller investment and with some rng luck and a good combination can be much more profitable than passive income. Passive income on the other hand can be good if you cant afford to spent much time in the game doing active. So if you cant invest active time you invest into having the best ratio of passive income. Still not as good as active but its gonna be good enough to keep you up to par.Now how does this affect the average player.Average player doesnt have the initial fund to invest in passive income empire so he focuses on the active income ways. Usually they do gathering/pve etc. They dont have max tier islands and or have islands 2/6 or 3/6 or even 4/6 but that usually ends them up with not enough silver and the wrong focus.All in all when you said who doesnt have max tier islands the answer in that would be the average player and or the players that focus other paths and find more profitable things. Still not a bad way of making money but as i said it was nerfed in the hector patch. You could fill journals with lower tier resources. Now journals afaik require same tier.
