There is nothing wrong with slicing as it is. Yes, it's a direct way to make money, but as I see it, it's a skill that allows players who don't want to get into the crafting aspect to make money with a "crafting skill." (This coming from someone who loves crafting skills) Not the least of which, people with normal crafting skills can make their own equipment fairly cheaply, whereas slicers must make enough money to offset the cost of all the equipment they cannot buy. My belief is that in the long run it will prove to be very subpar to normal crafting skills in income generation. Leave it as it is for now, get a decent amount of test datat (months) before deciding whether to increase or decrease its yields.
