Early swg design pre beta had farming and mining as part of a playable proffession before it went to beta it was scratched. They didn't think anyone would have any fun doing it though they knew the game harvest moon did very very well. It wouldn't surprise me if someone found some ole files some where and dusted it off and worked with the idea nge style. Don't remember the excat issue but pc gamer did a artcile before beta that had some screenies that included some of the propsed proffesions in it way way back when.
I can't fathom why anyone would be excited by the discussion of these itemis. First, SOE has promised boatloads of things they have never delivered in the past so it isn't like they have a stellar track record of following through on ideas. Second, assuming they even decided to do it you probably wouldn't see it in the game for at least another year...maybe longer. Third, even if it was pushed to live SOE has proven they can't produce anything without it being bug ridden, goofy and unplayable. Fourth, assuming they finally decided to do it, coded it and made it function the game would still be ridiculous, simplistic and by that time severely dated.
I wish SOE would just throw in the towel and go focus their attention on Matrix or something so a company with a brain can take over this franchise and produce something worth playing. SOE had its chance and so far they have done nothing except rob fans of an MMO worth playing.

I totally agree ... but look at it from someone point of view that is still playing. It will give them something to do. Many actually say that in the thread. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending how you look at it) it is all BS and $OE has NO intention of implementing this stuff anyways.
Perhaps Helios is suffering from some sort of fugue...
After all, what does Gardening and Exterior Design have to do with the PvP action he loves so much?
What does Gardening and Exterior Design have to do with Restuss, GCW Faction and/or "Kill, Loot, Repeat"? Maybe a Krayt drops a Bonsai Tree that improves my "Trader Necksnap" special when PvPing in Restuss to get Faction? Which in turn would give me what, a Bio-Linked Faction Reward like Imperial/Rebel Potted Plants, Bedsheets and Wallpaper that buffs combat abilities of same-faction players that spend time in my houses?
What is really sad to me is the poor people still playing the game getting all excited about statements like this. They've been paying for a broken game for a year. They are told by those who broke the game, "Oh hey we have some treats for you, though you probably won't get them for another 6-12 months if ever," and these poor players get all excited? It's like watching a friend in an abusive relationship, who keeps going back to the abusive spouse after an apology. You know the abuse is just going to happen again. You try to tell the victim NOT to keep going back. But oh no, things will be different this time... riiiiight.
Sometimes I think the people still playing NGE need an "intervention" or something. So many of them seem to have completely deluded themselves. Oh I am not talking about the mental midgets who can somehow get actual enjoyment out of the bizzare and completely ridiculous playstyle of the current game. Instead I'm referring to the poor slobs who don't really like NGE, and preferred either CU or pre-CU, but keep paying for NGE hoping that next week, next month, next year, it will get better.
And they somehow think SOE deserves another 6-12 months of subs fees "on faith"... which is just kind of pathetic. I have started feeling sorry for these people.

Well if JennyM And Msnil hate it, It's got to be a step in the right direction. And will probably be a popular move.
But as others have said to little way to late.
