Herbs and the such

After reading the posts about herbs, everyone claiming it is unfair that
the forestals have minimum prices, should really take a look at things.
The Saboteurs, bards, wytchen, lorekeepers, all guilds with a skill for
making or creating, charge for their skills. Now, think of how much you
pay for that journal, portrait, toxin, sword, anything from one of the
guilds. They all cost one hell of alot more than herbs. Some guilds even
refuse to sell certain things because of the impact they have. Herbs,
without those and the other useful elixirs and salves the forestals
sell, we would be quite stuck.

I mentioned that some guilds refuse to sell certain things, because it
is not our right to have those things available, but rather a privelege.
The same goes for herbs. So for all of you making a fuss over this, just
remember, it is not a right, there is no rule or law stating that they
must sell herbs to people. It is a privelege, which I personally think
they should revoke from every single person for a while, perhaps a year,
so that the world can see how lucky it is to even have the herbs
available, and just what it will be like for those who continue
whinging.

I may have made a few errors, or gotten something wrong, but I sure as
dis know one thing, we are lucky they work so hard to let us all have
access to 'the bounty of nature' which they could quite easily say we
can't have.
