The question is, do we have to cut the mushroom before picking it, or pick up all the mushroom?

Seriously, I consider the \"pick up\" option to default to the most sensible way of getting hold of the targeted item.
Therefore, I consider myself cutting off the mushroom, not plucking it off the ground. Yeah, it\'s a bit harder if you don\'t have a blade, but you can still break it off above the ground.

I already got some, my collection shall grow! Mouahha, I shall grow my own mushrooms! Mushrooms to cleanse all evil!...*Starts coughing, John looks a bit sick, maybe something to do with 3 mushrooms he said today for dinner *

How do you prevent people who aren\'t interested in alchemy from picking mushrooms just to sell them to someone else?

What\'s the problem with picking mushrooms just to sell them to someone else?

[gerix]

because mushroom pickers would be out of a job.

You can\'t just eliminate competition like that :rolleyes: People go after items or tasks for different reasons all the time. Why would you prevent the picking of mushrooms for anything other than alchemy? What if someone -needs- those mushrooms for alchemy, but isn\'t able to pick them him- or herself, and thus would need to find a supplier (aka another player) to buy them from? What about the healing properties of these mushrooms (if this is to remain)?

That\'s ridiculous.
